I specialize in Trauma Processing and this is where i find that the most positive outcomes are from. I love to talk to people and hear their story then we work out together what is the core beliefs and where that this might come from. Then we work on processing any trauma from childhood or other parts of life. This impacts greatly on the story that you tell yourself and the patterns of behavior that you want to change. I don't want people to be sitting talking to me for years with no breakthrough or change in behavior. I want you to be living your life to the fullest with maximum joy!

Those closest to me would describe me as a kind and caring person who is a very good listener. I believe that’s because I’ve experienced my own share of life’s challenges and emotional pain. I’ve had times of feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, lost and alone. Through it all, my saving grace has been the support of some amazing counsellors and supervisors. It is these experiences that have inspired me to be the helper I am today. I’ve spent the past 22 years learning how to best help and offer hope to those in need. You can see a list of my credentials and experience here.

I am a clinical psychologist who works across a variety of presentations including anxiety and mood disorders. I hope to bring a warm, empathic and authentic approach to the issues that people bring to therapy. I recognise the investment that people make when they share their difficulties with someone and commit to therapy, and work to honour that commitment by delivering evidence based treatments, that are tailored to a persons needs. I’ve benefitted greatly from the experience of working across a range of inpatient and outpatient hospital settings.

I work with individuals, first responders and couples with the help of my Animal Assistant Therapy dog, Max. We would love to help you live better in your life. Are you tired of feeling misunderstood and having conflict? Are you depressed, anxious and stressed by trauma and/or substance issues? Possibly drinking a bit too much? Or perhaps you are not sleeping because of nightmares or overthinking? Or you've been in therapy for long standing issues (eg childhood trauma) and progress is still not being made? Perhaps you have recently suffered a loss or going through a major life transition or chronic illness?

I online and offer in-person sessions on the central coast of NSW.
My ideal client? Someone who is ready to make a shift, things have gotten to a point they are ready to try a different way. Then we do a little work and Vamoosh! the problem has gone away. They come for habits like smoking, or counselling clients who have just got the wrong end of the stick about something and once they've figured it out they know what to do. Most of my clients though, are in much messier situations, with conflicting needs, and no simple solutions. And I like working with them too, because that's down in the muck of life. That's the real stuff and it's a privilege to be with them.
