I am a Clinical Psychologist registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and Australian Clinical Psychology Association (ACPA).

I am passionate about mental wellbeing with experience in working with adolescents (14+), adults, couples, and persons within LGBTIQA+ communities. I take an open and collaborative approach to best understand what has brought you to see me, and how best I can assist you in meeting your unique mental health goals.

I use techniques from a range of evidence based approaches including:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT),
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT),
• Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR – Level 1 Training),
• Metacognitive Therapy
• Motivational Interviewing,
• Schema Therapy (ST),
• Mindfulness and compassion based frameworks.

I enjoy working with a range of concerns including:

• Anxiety,
• Adjustment reactions,
• Chronic pain,
• Depression and other mood disorders,
• Interpersonal difficulties
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder,
• Sleep problems,
• Trauma related difficulties.

I completed my Bachelor of Psychology (Hons) and Master of Clinical Psychology degrees through Curtin University and have experience working within private practice and community mental health settings.
