Medicare Psychologist Provider

Medicare Clinical Psychologist Provider

Secure messaging available

Telehealth available

I have a broad range of clinical expertise, with particular interests in:

� stress

� anxiety and depression

� grief and bereavement

� relationship issues

� life transitions

� gender issues

� More extensive list below



I have over thirty years� experience in therapy with adults, couples, and late adolescents.

The uniqueness of each person�s life means that I work in a different way with every person. My training includes a diverse range of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioural (CBT), psychodynamic and family systems approaches.

It is my experience that with a safe, confidential and understanding space to explore our issues, we have the capacity to transform ourselves. With commitment and courage, profound change and greater enjoyment of life are possible.

I am registered with Medicare, The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Authority (AHPRA), and am a Fellow of the APS College of Clinical Psychologists.
