I am a clinical psychologist with 15 years experience who provides a collaborative and empathic approach. My passion is helping adults aged 18+ with autism/ASD and ADHD (AuDHD). I offer screening, formal assessment, diagnosis, and treatment strategies for self-exploration and acceptance. I use Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness techniques to help with associated anxiety and depression, perfectionism, low self-esteem and assertiveness, sleep difficulties and time management for work-life balance to prevent burnout.
I provide sensory fidgets in my room and clients are welcome to modify the environment to feel comfortable (eg turning the lights off or sitting with their feet on the couch).
Services are offered via telehealth and face-to-face in Newcomb VIC 3219 under funding from Medicare, WorkCover, TAC & Privately. New client sessions are readily available Monday to Thursday. Please phone Mind Health Care reception on (03) 5242 8981 for further information, or use the 'Email me' button. Referrals can be faxed to (03) 5298 1624.
