I am a Clinical Psychologist and I have been practising for nearly a decade, having completed a Master of Clinical Psychology at the University of Technology, Sydney and a Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours) at the University of New South Wales.
I have experience working with individuals of all ages, presenting with a range of concerns, and I am dedicated to helping people overcome their challenges and live fulfilling lives. I am particularly passionate about working with young adults.
I was drawn to a career in psychology because of my passion for helping people through their hard times. I knew I wanted to be a therapist when I discovered that I could learn and use a number of evidence-based strategies to help people do this on a daily basis. It is incredibly rewarding seeing people who were once feeling stuck overcome their difficulties and move towards the life they want to live.
I work collaboratively with my clients to achieve treatment goals, using techniques tailored to individual needs. I provide interventions using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Schema Therapy.
I offer services in the following areas:
– Anxiety, phobias and panic attacks
– Assertiveness difficulties
– Depression and low mood
– Obsessive compulsive concerns
– Parenting concerns
– Relationship challenges
– Self-esteem and confidence issues
– Stress and adjustment issues
– Trauma
Anyone can encounter hard times in life and it’s important to know you have the skills to cope. Therapy is a wonderful opportunity to develop new insights, build skills and strengths to overcome challenges, and to improve your overall wellbeing. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose!
