General Psychologist

When my clients come to see me, my aim is to offer an environment that is designed to help put them at ease and provide support for them to be comfortable and open in their process. I view the process as being client driven and that my role is to help clients reach their goals to better support their mental health and functioning.

I have been in private practice as a generalist psychologist for 20+ years. My therapy orientation takes an eclectic approach informed by insight directed therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), trauma-focused CBT, dialectical behaviour therapy, interpersonal therapy, family systems therapy, solution-focused therapy and supportive counselling. Client’s needs guide the therapeutic approach.

A little bit about me 😊 In a past lifetime I was a professional singer/dancer/actor (touring around Australia and overseas). Consequently, I have a strong understanding of creative personalities. I went on to complete my Bachelor of Psychology degree (2003) and Bachelor of Psychology Honours degree (2004) through Queensland University of Technology and I am a member of the Australian Association of Psychologists.

In recent years I have been developing two new areas of interest. In 2024 I completed a MOOC course for Understanding Dementia through the University of Tasmania and continue to develop my knowledge and understanding of aging and cognitive decline. In 2025 I completed my accreditation as a life coach. I have a strong interest in self-care coaching and the importance of assisting clients to nurture and care for themselves.
