Secure messaging available

Telehealth available

Midlife and older age mental health, Australia-wide. Supporting clients to navigate change, challenge, and growth through accessible telehealth.

Alongside my work as a Senior Lecturer in Clinical Psychology and Director of a student training clinic at one of the universities in Melbourne, I am a Clinical Psychologist (PhD) and Founder of Upside Stories. I bring 16 years of clinical, research, and teaching experience to a practice grounded in evidence and built around meaning.

I work with clients navigating midlife and older age depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions and questions of identity. This includes family caregiving, dementia, and younger adults who are facing age related themes earlier than expected.

I offer individual therapy and tailored programs, all via secure telehealth, Australia-wide.

Medicare rebates apply with a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan. A free 20-minute consult is available to explore your next chapter.
