I am a registered Clinical Psychologist, a member of the Clinical College of the Australian Psychological Society with over 30 years experience in a variety of mental health settings. I work at headspace, as well as in private practice and have previously worked in Community Mental Health and Drug & Alcohol services, Corrective Services, in-patient psychiatric services, and eating disorders services. Prior to this, I worked in biological and medical research before gaining qualifications and experience in psychological therapy.

I have Masters and Doctorate degrees in biological and psychological sciences.

​

I specialise in both adolescent and adult psychological problems. 

I provide treatment and assessment for a wide range of problems including, adjustment and anxiety disorders, attention deficit disorders (ADHD), phobias, stress, sleep disorders, relationship difficulties, anger management, depression, grief and trauma (PTSD) and their consequences, and addictive behaviours.

​

My treatment approach is centered around cognitive behavioural principles, but this approach is also informed by a broad base of psychological theory to achieve a better understanding and connection with individual clients. I am very aware that building rapport with clients is essential if I am to assist them to be better able to cope with problems in their life situations, and to address any issues with their thoughts, self-confidence, feelings, and behaviours.
