Getting To Know Me

I am registered with the Psychology Board of Australia and am a member of the Australian Psychological Society and the Australian Association of Psychologists Inc. I have been a psychologist for over 25 years, working across a range of settings, including community mental health, forensic, educational services and private practice. I have also lectured at universities and held roles providing training to other professionals in psychological practice and professional development

I have a passion for working with couples. I hold a Master's Degree in Relationship and Couples Therapy and am trained in Gottman Relationship Therapy and Imago Therapy, as a result, I see all clients through a relationship lens. This means that, even if you see me for individual issues, I will be mindful of the role key relationships play in either your symptoms or your therapy process.

​

I also have a passion for helping clients connect more deeply to their own emotional self. This can involve being more mindful of one's own feelings (as opposed to being constantly caught up in the chatter of the mind) and listening to and catering to the emotional needs of self.

​

I partake in continued professional development each year and am very committed to staying up to date with the latest research and treatment methods. I focus my areas of development around evidence-based individual therapy treatments, neurobiology and couples therapy. I work from a trauma informed lens and have advanced training in EMDR. I provide supervision and case consultation across a range of clinical areas, including trauma-focused work, relationship therapy, and evidence-based individual treatment. I also offer supervision to psychologists working towards endorsement.
