My Story

I’m a registered psychologist deeply passionate about working with adolescents and adults on their journey to greater wellbeing. I believe in viewing my clients holistically, recognizing their unique perspectives as valuable contributors to their growth and development.

In my therapeutic practice, I hold true to the belief that everyone possesses untapped strengths, waiting to be uncovered. The therapeutic relationship serves as a catalyst to reveal these inner resources, leading to profound transformations. No concern is too small or insignificant to explore in therapy—I am naturally curious and committed to creating a safe space where clients can ‘come as they are’ without judgment.

My mission is to provide a voice to those who feel unheard, helping them discover personal insights and practical solutions for a more fulfilling life. I am experienced in working with adult populations dealing with depression, anxiety, and stress related to work or studies. My background also includes providing support to children and carers within the Out of Home care system, where I witnessed the power of nurturing relationships in fostering positive change and healing.

In our sessions, I strike a balance between flexibility and structure, tailoring the approach to meet each client’s unique needs and preferences. My empathetic and intuitive nature allows me to gently explore the root causes of difficulties within a safe and supportive environment.

I draw from various therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). My practice is fluid, and under the guidance of the professional team at Exclusive Wellbeing, I am open to incorporating modalities like Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Schema Therapy, applying psychodynamic knowledge when needed.

My educational journey includes completing a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) and a Master of Clinical Psychology at Western Sydney University. I am a clinical psychologist accredited by the Psychology Board of Australia. As a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and the APS Clinical College, I am committed to upholding the highest standards in my practice.

My focus areas encompass anxiety disorders, particularly those with a trauma background, and I am passionate about addressing interpersonal and relationship distress.

To me, the ideal client is anyone with a desire for self-improvement. Each session is a step toward meaningful change, and the beauty of this work lies in its ability to benefit anyone who engages in the process.
