I am a psychologist working at my clinic located in Melbourne, Australia. I also work with clients across Australia via telehealth. I can offer you a safe and welcoming environment in which to talk about your thoughts and feelings. I am experienced in treating depression, anxiety/panic, loneliness, low self-esteem, relationship issues, PTSD/trauma, OCD, self-harm and suicidal behaviours. I also work with clients with Autism and ADHD.
Here is a shot of my office and the office manager!
I offer a warm approach, to help obtain improved psychological and emotional well-being. I practice from various evidenced-based psychological therapies, including cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I am trained in trauma-specific and psychoanalytic therapies.
I love to work with adults of all ages, teenagers, couples, families and parents. I provide a safe space for individuals and couples, where they feel heard, understood and validated. I provide a space where clients can achieve positive treatment outcomes in their lives. I'm currently accepting new referrals and I have no wait time for new appointments.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we look into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first few sessions and sustained improvement thereafter.

In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. I use a range of therapeutic approaches including CBT, ACT and work with you to examine how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
