Hello, I'm a Clinical Psychologist who believes meaningful change begins with understanding. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I work collaboratively with clients to understand the patterns shaping their emotional wellbeing, and together we develop practical, evidence-based strategies for lasting change. Having migrated to Australia as an adult and changed careers before becoming a psychologist, I bring a breadth of life experience and an appreciation of life's transitions, identity and change. I feel privileged to support people in rebuilding hope and creating a meaningful life.
I have particular interests in working with bipolar disorder, mood disorders, anxiety disorders and relational trauma. I am an LGBTQIA+ affirmative clinician and I work hard to collaborate with clients in therapy. My work is tailored to each individual and draws primarily on Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and CBT.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply trying to make sense of what's happening in your life, I aim to provide a warm, collaborative and non-judgemental space where together we can understand your experiences and work towards meaningful, lasting change.
