I started my path to psychology in an unconventional way by first studying maths and ethics. Many turns, study and training led me to becoming a practicing psychologist. I continue to centre my journey on curiosity, exploration and open-mindedness, and welcome these qualities in my work with people.

I find a lot of joy and fulfilment as a psychologist and consider it a real privilege to do this work. I like to focus on creating a comfortable, personable place that allows people to share stories and experiences, find meaning and create change. 

I have found that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for talking through tough topics. I focus on collaboration and enjoy working with people on deeper questions and challenges, exploring their inner world, and helping them connect with their own wisdom.

I absolutely welcome diversity and have a particular interest in working with people from the queer or LGBTQIA+ community; both for queer identity exploration as well as general mental health needs. I also greatly enjoy working with neurodivergent folks in therapy (but I don’t offer formal assessment and diagnosis). My other areas of interest include anxiety, post-traumatic stress and trauma recovery, depression, stress and adjustment. 

I’m influenced by humanistic, strengths-based, trauma-informed and integrative psychological therapies. I have experience and training across a range of therapies and mainly draw on:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Internal Family Systems (IFS) 

• Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) 

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

• Schema Therapy

I’m familiar with the worker’s compensation insurance scheme and am a SIRA accredited psychologist. 

I also offer clinical supervision and you can find my supervision bio here.

I completed registration as a psychologist in my home state at the University of Tasmania before moving to New South Wales in recent years and making the Illawarra area my home. In 2024, I also completed a clinical master’s degree to extend my studies and learning.
