With nearly twenty years of experience and as a clinical psychologist, I am equipped to assist clients with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, work-related stress, and life transitions. Additionally, I have a particular interest in neurodiversity (ADHD & ASD) and trauma-informed care. I am a certified EMDR therapist and I integrate a variety of evidence-based strategies into my treatment approach. I work with children, adolescents, and adults presenting with diverse needs. I support clients through NDIS and the Medicare Mental Health Care Plan and offer both Telehealth and face-to-face sessions.
My practice is committed to fostering a warm, nurturing, and empathetic environment where clients feel safe and valued. I utilize various therapeutic modalities to ensure individualized care tailored to each client’s unique needs.
Taking the first step can often feel daunting, but getting support and help can also be life changing. With the right tools and support you can grow and develop, overcoming challenges and difficulties.
