B Psych (Hons), MPsych (Clin).
Clinical Psychologist
I believe in the capacity of the human spirit to pull through even the most difficult and tumultuous of times. This view fuels my passion for helping my clients enhance their psychological wellbeing within a warm, collaborative, and non-judgemental therapeutic relationship. I help my clients learn how to defuse from unhelpful thoughts, regulate physical and emotional discomfort, and take committed action through gradual exposure and move towards their values. I help guide my clients in navigating psychological hurdles to their growth, while gradually building tools facilitative of a rich and meaningful life, free of suffering. I strive to take a flexible, collaborative, and creative approach to treatment, and value the role of humour, curiosity and compassion in navigating life’s challenges.
I am registered as a Clinical Psychologist with the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency (AHPRA). I take an individualised and evidence-based approach to treatment using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and other Mindfulness-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), in addition to Schema and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT).

- Perfectionism
- Stress and burnout
- Interpersonal difficulties
- Physical health-related problems
