Medicare Psychologist Provider

Medicare Clinical Psychologist Provider

Telehealth available

I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist who is passionate about empowering children, teens and their families to navigate emotional challenges, harness their strengths and develop new skills for a brighter, more resilient future.

I have extensive experience in private and public mental health settings and have been privileged to work with children and teens who are struggling with a broad range of emotional, social, behavioural, developmental and/or relational difficulties.

I have a warm, empathic and collaborative therapy style that is tailored to meet the individual needs of my clients and their families and draws from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches. I aim to enhance the understanding of a child�s unique strengths, needs and challenges, while building their capacity to manage the struggles they are experiencing.

I accept self-referrals, referrals via GPs/medical professionals and referrals for children and young people with self or plan-managed NDIS plans.
