Hi, 

I am an experienced, caring and compassionate Psychologist with 25 years of experience in supporting people to create a life worth living.

I commenced my career with an honors in Psychology and a Masters in Counseling Psychology and since then have added 25 years of experience working in the areas of private practice, child protection, school psychology, and private hospital mental health clinics. 

I have experience working with people with a history of trauma, depression, anxiety and personality disorders as well as grief, interpersonal issues and stress related difficulties.

I have worked with people of all ages, genders and from a diverse range of backgrounds. I have also worked in both city (Sydney and Newcastle) and regional (Hunter Valley) locations. 

I believe that I am open, genuine and relatable, and strive to appreciate all people rather than trying to ‘solve’ them.

I am trained in the following therapies and use them flexibly to best meet the needs of each individual:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
• Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)
• Schema Therapy
• Solution Focused Therapy
• Narrative Therapy

I firmly believe that no person is broken but rather they need support and strategies to help them build a rich, full and meaningful life.
