Biographical Info

I am an experienced clinical psychologist as well as academic researcher and hold a Senior Lecturer adjunct position with UNSW (University of New South Wales).

As a clinical psychologist, I use a collaborative, client-focussed, strengths-based approach when working with clients to address their difficulties.  I respect all clients and their uniqueness, as well as the diversity of challenges people bring to therapy. I am here to work with you as someone who has lived a full life and experienced some of life’s challenges.  I recognise and respect the courage often needed to address mental health concerns and other difficulties in our lives, as well as the desire to gain greater insight and self-responsibility. I find it exciting and a privilege to work with clients and share parts of their journeys. I look forward to meeting and working with you.

I provide assessment, counselling and treatment for adults and older adolescents, as well as couples. The areas where I can help clients include a range of behavioural, emotional and relationship difficulties:

• depression, sadness, and grief
• anxiety, worry, and panic attacks
• post-traumatic stress
• stress management
• anger management
• dependence and addiction (e.g. gambling, drugs, alcohol, etc)
• emotional dysregulation
• erratic and unwanted behaviour
• sexual and gender identity as well as other identity challenges
• relationship difficulties
• challenges in living with chronic illness
