I am a registered psychologist with AHPRA and a full member of the Australian Association of Psychologists. I have worked as a psychologist, counsellor and case manager for 20 years, assisting individuals and groups in clinical, forensic and private practice settings.
I have extensive experience in the assessment and treatment of a variety of clinical conditions including adjustment, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress.
I can help people with the management of stress, grief/loss, addictive behaviours and provide specific skills training in such areas as healthy relationships, communication, assertiveness and effective problem solving. I am educated/trained in a number of evidence based therapeutic modalities including cognitive behaviour therapy, brief solution focused therapy, internal family systems therapy, motivational interviewing, interpersonal therapy, mindfulness based therapies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.
I am eclectic in my approach and apply modalities that are best suited to your unique needs and personal preferences. I work collaboratively with you to develop individualised treatment plans and to empower you to achieve your personal goals. My practise philosophy for psychological intervention is focused on the importance of an authentic therapeutic relationship and genuine compassion for individuals.
