I am a compassionate, trauma-informed and strength-based psychologist with a background in Mental Health, Functional Recovery, Disabilities and Behaviour Support. I am able to assist with difficulties across a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, life transitions, parenting, emotional regulation, neurodiversity and relationship difficulties. I offer both in home and telehealth appointments Monday to Thursday from 4pm, so no need to take time away from your work, studies or busy schedule.
My integrative therapeutic approach, which I personalise to each client, includes Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy, Play therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Brief Solution-Focused Therapy.
I create a supportive, non-judgemental and collaborative environment to explore presenting concerns, identify therapeutic goals and to find practical solutions to increase wellbeing, resilience and quality of life.
