Medicare Psychologist Provider

Secure messaging available

Telehealth available

As a Counselling Psychologist I am humanistic in my approach. This means I am Person-Centered. Therefore what each unique person brings to therapy guides treatment. To achieve this, I draw on an eclectic array of scientifically proven psychological approaches, that would provide the best possibility of healing.

In addition to the therapeutic approaches listed below, I have extensive training, experience, and dedication to "Process Based Techniques" such as:

Emotion Focused Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

I also have a strong interest in PolyVagal Therapy, which targets the Vagal Nerve and its' impact on mental health.



When your ready to make the change....

I am ready to help.
