Licensed Clinical Psychologists

I am a registered psychologist who provides evidence-based, compassionate care to individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I tailor therapy to each client’s needs, fostering growth, resilience, and meaningful change.

About Me

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist providing therapy across Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. I support adults experiencing a wide range of concerns, including anger, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, eating disorders, OCD and trauma/PTSD. My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based practice. I draw on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), relationship counselling and mindfulness-based strategies. I focus on teaching practical, effective coping skills while helping clients understand the patterns underlying their difficulties. My aim is to provide a supportive, collaborative and culturally sensitive space where clients feel empowered to make meaningful and lasting change.

Approach

My approach is warm, respectful, and collaborative. I tailor therapy to each individual’s unique needs, values, and goals, drawing on evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Exposure Therapy, and Response Prevention. I aim to create a safe, inclusive space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to manage life’s challenges, build resilience, and achieve meaningful change.
