I value the importance of collaborating with my clients to discover their unique therapy needs and the personal strengths they possess. Often, these needs and strengths have been overlooked for quite some time. Together, we will establish a strong foundation of trust as we co-create a formulation and treatment plan.
Tailored
I believe therapy should be tailored to your individual needs. My aim is a safe and supportive environment to explore what is happening for you and develop personalised strategies for managing this more effectively
Experienced
I have worked across government, public and private practices in Australia and overseas. I have experience working with people of different cultures and belief systems.
Your Goals
Your personal goals in therapy are individual to you and can range from developing skills and coping mechanisms for dealing with recent stressors or focusing on long standing to enduring life patterns.
Cultural Diversity
I appreciate that distress can present differently and can be experienced differently. I view the cultural lens as important when trying to navigate distress and improve quality of life.
Modalities
The modalities in my practice, include Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Schema Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy. These approaches can provide valuable insights and tools for your therapeutic journey.

My professional registrations include being a Member of the Australian Psychological Society, Australian Clinical Psychology Association, APS Clinical College and International Society of Schema Therapy.
