About

​

I am a Clinical Psychologist, working with adults, in private practice via telehealth (video call or telephone - Australia wide) and in person in the Melbourne suburb of Eltham. My approach is gentle, positive, open minded and holistic. The practice aims to offer a safe, respectful and non-judgmental space to talk through private concerns and help identify strategies for improved well-being.

 

I am trained in a range of scientifically supported therapies including Schema Therapy, EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

​

I also offer neurodiversity affirming assessments and therapy support to adults who identify as ADHD'ers, Autistic or both (AuDHD). As well as anyone curious about whether they might be neurodivergent.

​​​​

I am a Board Approved Supervisor and offer supervision for graduate psychologists.

​

Some of the areas I may be able to assist with include:

​

  • Depression and anxiety

  • Stress and burnout

  • Difficulty coping with a whole range of different life challenges and changes

  • Adult Autism and ADHD Assessments - see further information here

  • Neurodiversity affirming support to adults who identify as ADHD'ers, Autistic or both, or to family members/parents 

  • Grief and loss of all kinds

  • Relationship problems including break ups and divorce

  • Support in processing distressing or traumatic life events (PTSD)

  • Infertility and IVF

  • Work, study or career concerns

  • Spiritual, existential concerns

​

I've been working as a psychologist since 2009 and worked in community based mental health and hospital settings prior (starting off my career as a registered nurse). ​​

​

Outside of work, I’m a parent to two teenagers and pets. I have a deep love for all animals, especially Australian native wildlife, and volunteer in wildlife rescue and care when I can. I’m also a committed—though not always successful—meditator, and enjoy time in nature. 

​

I can offer telehealth (video call or telephone) and/or office based appointments. If you want to know more about telehealth or office based appointment options, including location, please click here.
