Medicare Psychologist Provider

Telehealth available

I am a Registered Psychologist with more than 25 years� experience in clinical, project management, research and leadership including a wide range of areas such as resilience, mental health, human factors, rural and remote mental health, and health generally.

My therapeutic philosophy is grounded in compassionate, trauma-informed, and evidence-based care. I believe that meaningful change occurs when clients feel safe, understood, and respected within a collaborative therapeutic relationship. I recognise the profound impact of trauma, stress, and adversity across the lifespan and tailor therapy to each individual�s unique history, strengths, and goals.
