I am passionate about helping clients turn emotional challenges into emotional growth by combining a warm approach with evidence-based therapy. I believe that everyone has inner strengths and resources to overcome challenges and has the potential to live a rich and meaningful life. My core approach is creating an empathic therapeutic relationship, and co-creating strategies to handle difficult thoughts, situations and emotions effectively.
I work with adults and young people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, child behavioural issues and oppositional behaviour, self-harm, suicidal ideation, obsessive compulsive symptoms, low-self esteem and life setbacks.
I use a number of approaches, including cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy and EMDR.
I have a Master in Clinical Psychology, PhD in addiction psychology, and BA (Honours).
