About Me 

I am a registered Educational and Developmental Psychologist accredited by the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency (AHPRA). I have experience supporting children, adolescents, adults and families across a range of educational, community, clinical and private settings.

I completed my Master of Psychology at Monash University, where I was awarded the Academic Medal for Excellence in Graduate and Postgraduate Coursework Study for achieving the highest academic result in the Education Faculty. I have also recently undertaken specialist training in couples and systemic therapy with Relationships Australia Victoria (RAV). 

I foster a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for my clients, and work collaboratively with families, schools and health care professionals. I am passionate about empowering individuals of all ages to find their inner strength and resilience, overcome fears, and establish meaningful and rewarding relationships.

My approach to therapy is eclectic, as I draw from a number of theoretical perspectives and conceptual frameworks. I have training and experience in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Play Therapy, Interpersonal Process Therapy (IPT), and Feedback Informed Therapy (FIT).

When appropriate, I use mindfulness, relaxation and experiential techniques, including meditation and progressive muscle relaxation. I also provide psychoeducation about certain issues, and offer practical strategies when needed. This might involve role-playing in sessions, discussing various coping skills, setting goals, or establishing tasks or behavioural experiments to complete at home.
