********* PSYCHOLOGIST, PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPIST ***** ONLINE / TELEHEALTH APPOINTMENTS ONLY ****** NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS ***** HAVE AVAILABILITY *********** "I love the collaborative process of working through life events with adults. It is a pleasure and privilege to experience the emotional journey with people I work with to reach a place that enables greater satisfaction and life enjoyment". I have a caring and empathetic style, and I believe that a person’s internal world is able to be experienced in therapy through the building of rapport and trust. I have experience in treating adults (18 years plus) who experience anxiety and depression. Additionally I have many years of experience treating the impact of trauma and abuse. I describe myself as a psychotherapist who uses ‘talking therapy’ to work through issues around attachment to assist my clients to rediscover how they process thought and emotion. I recognise how bringing past experiences to the surface creates an understanding of one’s reactions and thoughts, which in turn builds internal strength and resolves the past so one can move forward emotionally. I completed an initial degree in disability studies and then specialised in addiction whilst I completed an internship for psychologist registration. It was during my work in community health and addiction that I became interested in psychotherapy and undertook further formal study in this therapy technique. My technique is catered to the individual and includes aspects of ACT, mindfulness and is psychodynamically informed. We all repeat behaviour at some stage in our lives. Understanding family of origin and attachment can assist to identify where patterns of thought and behaviour come from. Making decisions consciously enables greater empowerment and emotional choice. I have experience in treating trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, chronic health including diabetes, attentional disorders, personality disorders and dissociative disorders. Following my training I worked in community mental health and advocacy. For the last 12 years I have been in private practice. I believe in choice and empowerment, and values respect, honesty, and integrity.

Psychologist ***ONLINE / TELEHEALTH APPOINTMENTS ONLY******* NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS ***** HAVE AVAILABILITY *********** I have a passion for working with young people, adults, and the First Nations population using a client-centred, humanistic, and strengths-based approach. I find in collaboration with you, we can determine the best path to move forward, to get you to a position of improved life quality. Whether that may be understanding past experiences affecting present issues, or present issues disrupting future ideals. I personally believe that each person’s journey is significant and deserves a safe space to be heard and attended to. Within this space, personal strengths can also be found, which can then be applied affectively in therapy. I have lived and practised in coastal, rural and urban settings, working with youth, indigenous communities and adult populations. I have also worked as a resident psychologist in an acute mental health hospital. I have learnt across all these settings that you, personally, know your journey best, and innately know the best way forward. Life at times can be a struggle. Sometimes the struggle can seem to go on for ages. I would be honoured to support you, and by reflecting on your experiences and goals we can find the best way that you would like to move forward and ultimately get you to a better life quality.
