I am a Clinical Psychologist with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Psychology (Murdoch University) and a Master’s Degree in Psychology (Clinical) (Curtin University). I have excellent experience in providing assessment and therapy for a variety of psychological and interpersonal difficulties. All of the therapeutic approaches I use are based on the most up-to-date research. I enjoy working with all age groups across the lifespan, providing therapy to children, adolescents, adults, parents and children working together, couples and family units.

I particularly like working with complex issues such as:

• Complex Trauma and PTSD (including assault, military deployment and accidents);
• Court related Offending Behaviour;
• Neurodevelopment Disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, AD/HD and Specific Learning Disorders/difficulties; and
• Parenting difficulties/Attachment Disorders (including working with foster/adoptive parents and children).

I am also passionate about working with and helping anyone experiencing problems associated with: Grief and Loss; Anxiety; Depression; Stress Management; Anger Management and Emotional Regulation; Assertiveness Training; Social Skills Training; School based Behavioural challenges/difficulties; Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation; and Personality Disorders/Adjustment issues.

In order to meet each person’s individual needs, I use and draw from a range of evidenced-based therapeutic approaches including: Trauma Focused Cognitive Behaviour Therapy; Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy (Institute trained); Family Systems Therapy; Applied Behaviour Analysis; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy; Narrative Therapy; Solution-focused techniques; and Mindfulness. 

I believe that everyone has the strengths and resources to achieve positive change, but require understanding, support and encouragement to develop techniques and strategies to achieve their therapeutic goals. As such, I am committed to listen to you and to work collaboratively with you to help you set and achieve your goals in a safe, supportive and respectful environment.
