ABOUT

I am a registered psychologist with a Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology)(Honours) who loves dogs* (and cats, and birds, and goats, and capybaras...you get the picture) and has a passion for working with individuals from all walks of life. Over the past three years, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in private practice. Prior to that, I worked as a mental health support worker for two years and as a research assistant at the Adolescent Risk Research Unit of University of the Sunshine Coast.

My approach to therapy is person-centred and client-led, meaning that I work collaboratively with my clients to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to their unique needs and goals. I practise from a humanistic, neurodiversity affirming framework and use interventions from a range of therapeutic modalities to support my clients in achieving their desired outcomes.

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I have a particular interest and passion for working with individuals who share my experience. I strive to create a safe and inclusive space for all of my clients, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. 

Three things to know about me are that I value honesty and authenticity in all aspects of my life, which is evident in my clinical work. Additionally, I am proudly queer, and my personal experiences have informed my approach to therapy. Finally, I am a self-proclaimed geek, and I enjoy incorporating my love of pop culture and my client's geeky interests into my clinical work.

I hold current membership with both AusPATH and AAPi and have previously served on the committee of The Psychology of Diverse Bodies, Genders and Sexualities Interest Group of the Australian Psychological Society.

Thank you for considering me as your therapist. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment, please don't hesitate to contact me.

* Sadly this is not my dog and therefore won't make any impromptu guest appearances in your sessions. I do welcome guest appearances from your animals, but please check before bringing them into the clinic
