I am a clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience, I have had the privilege of working with a wide array of difficulties across different settings, from youth and adult community mental health to hospitals within the public sector. Over the years, I have transitioned to private practice, where I have supported clients dealing with a range of issues from depression and anxiety to relationship challenges, stress, and chronic illness.
I have particular interests in working with trauma-related difficulties (especially complex and relational trauma), relationship issues (e.g. family, spouse) and with expectant/ new parents. I believe in creating a warm, compassionate space for my clients. I have an interest in utilising EMDR and have completed additional training in attachment-informed EMDR
I understand that stepping into therapy can feel a bit intimidating, so I am dedicated to making you feel heard and safe to share your struggles. My goal is to create an environment where you feel supported, so we can work together to navigate through whatever you are facing.
