About
I am a registered psychologist with experience working across community, non-government and private psychological health services in mostly regional, rural and remote areas of Australia. I have experience working with young people, families and adults across diverse populations. I value integrative and holistic wellness. My practice is aligned with this individualised, person-centered model, which combines a whole person approach with evidence-based strategies to support change, healing, and growth.

Style
My approach is warm, attuned, collaborative, and compassionate. My aim is to provide a welcoming space in which you feel comfortable, understood, and supported and work with you to explore what brings you to therapy so that you can reach your own therapeutic goals
Modality & Approach
I bring the breadth of my professional training and background to understand your concerns within your life’s broader context. In collaboration, we develop therapy goals and I tailor the therapy approach to your needs, as well as your personal strengths and differences. I work flexibly and seek your feedback on how the therapeutic approaches and specific strategies utilised are meeting your needs and therapeutic expectations.
Currently, I practice utilising these modalities to best support my clients with personal change and growth:
DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy)
CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
Mindfulness
ACT- DNA-V (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy based approach)
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) Therapy
IFS (Internal Family Systems) Therapy
