Dual qualified as a psychologist and accredited mental health social worker. I'm here to supportively collaborate with you to navigate through developmental, behavioural, mental health, trauma and life challenges. My passion for understanding and improving mental health is demonstrated in the way I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals facing a wide range of psychological challenges. My therapeutic style is integrative, drawing from cognitive-behavioural, psychodynamic, attachment and strengths-based perspectives to personalise treatment plans which meet your unique needs and strengths.
I have worked across sectors including domestic violence, rape & sexual assault, child, adolescent & adult community mental health, youth justice, hospitals, public & private practice. During this time I trained in & practiced CBT, CPT, DBT, ACT, EFT, IPT, MI, TIC, EMDR, & Mindfulness to support you to reduce stress & increase coping, enjoyment & wellbeing.
Everyone’s psychology and path are uniquely their own. I provide compassionate, collaborative support & expert guidance for navigating life’s challenges, trauma, parenting, attachment, neurodiversity & trauma recovery. This holistic approach recognises these experiences often intertwine, creating complex tapestries of strength and resilience.
