I’m a Registered Psychologist with a Master of Clinical Psychology (with Distinction), a First Class Honours, Graduate Diploma in Psychology and a Bachelor of Commerce. I’m a current member of the Australian Psychological Society.

Over the last five years I have worked across diverse mental health settings, including community mental health, private practice, university clinics, and crisis support. My clinical experience includes supporting individuals through perinatal mental health, trauma and complex life transitions, depression, anxiety, panic, mood disorders. I also have experience running therapy groups, and conducting cognitive assessments for learning difficulties, IQ, ADHD and Autism.

Before entering the field of psychology, I spent over 15 years in the business world, working across government, mid-tier and small private practices in management and business. This unique career path has given me a deep, first-hand understanding of professional reinvention, burnout and the psychological complexities of identity change.

Personally and professionally, I have a strong interest in empowering women at each pivotal life sage, whether that be exploring growth as a young woman, the challenges of the perinatal stage, or embracing perimenopause and beyond. These seasons can be profound but they also open the door to meaningful growth and renewed clarity.

It’s an honour to walk with you during these seasons and explore the big questions together.
