I believe that everyone has a story and that each story is remarkable. I consider it a privilege to be part of your story and to support you along your journey. I am a registered psychologist and a lecturer with more than 16 years of experience working across hospital, community mental health, forensic, and university settings. I have provided psychological assistance to people from all walks of life. I am very aware that one size does not fit all in therapy, so I tailor individual treatment utilising evidence-based approaches, including CBT, ACT, Schema Therapy, DBT and EMDR.
I provide individual therapy and relationship counselling both onsite and via telehealth, supporting clients through Medicare, WorkSafe, TAC-funded services, and Employee Assistance Programs (EAP).
I have experience working with individuals facing a variety of mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, addiction, OCD, bipolar disorder, relationship difficulties, workplace stress, and other life challenges.
