Alongside being a registered psychologist with a strong foundation of clinical experience shaped by over 20 years of practice, I am also a registered nurse and midwife. This background shapes my holistic approach to therapy, grounded in the understanding that mind, body, and spirit are deeply interconnected.

I have a particular interest in supporting parents through the precious and often challenging perinatal and postnatal periods. I am also deeply committed to assisting individuals who are healing from trauma, experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, workplace stress or navigating legal or court processes.

Prior to establishing my private practice, I worked across diverse healthcare and organisational settings, including multinational corporations, immigration detention services, rehabilitation programs, hospital environments in Australia and the Middle East, and with the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. These experiences have given me a strong appreciation of the pressures associated with high-responsibility roles, as well as the complexities of balancing professional demands with personal and family life.

My practice is grounded in evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, Schema Therapy, and Perinatal Mental Health (PND) therapy.
