Intro
My journey into psychology hasn't been a traditional one. Before becoming a psychologist, I spent seven years serving in the Royal Australian Air Force as an Explosive Detection Dog Team Leader. My experiences in the military, along with my time volunteering with Lifeline, have shaped my understanding of resilience, human connection and the challenges people face throughout their lives.
About me
I am a registered psychologist with experience supporting adults from all walks of life, including young adults navigating significant life changes, veterans adjusting to life after service, and people experiencing a range of mental health challenges.
Following my military service, I completed six years of psychology education before gaining experience in private practice and forensic psychology. I also spent two years volunteering with Lifeline, supporting people through some of life's most difficult moments.
These experiences have shaped my approach to psychology and reinforced my belief in the importance of compassion, understanding and creating a space where people feel genuinely supported.
Your Approach
I believe therapy should be a safe, welcoming and non-judgemental experience where you feel heard, respected and understood. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each person's unique experiences, needs and goals, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
I draw on a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Schema Therapy, Internal Family Systems and the Gottman Method.
My goal is to work alongside you at your own pace, helping you develop greater clarity, resilience and connection while building a life that feels more meaningful and fulfilling.
Areas of Interest
Trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, neurodivergence, life transitions, identity, personal growth, veterans and the DVA/Open Arms community, supporting LGBTIQA+ individuals and people from culturally diverse backgrounds.
Certifications
Bachelor of Psychological Science (Swinburne University), Honours of Psychological Science (Southern Cross University), Master of Clinical Psychology (University of Southern Queensland).
Registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS), member of the EMDR Association of Australia (EMDRAA).

Intro
Growing up in a small coastal town, I have always felt a strong connection to the ocean. Outside of work, you'll often find me surfing, swimming or enjoying time outdoors with family and friends.
About me
I am a registered psychologist with experience supporting adolescents (aged 15 years and older), adults and couples across a wide range of mental health concerns. Throughout my career, I have worked in regional NSW, private practice, a private hospital, and with veterans and their families, providing compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each person's unique needs.
Before becoming a psychologist, I worked as an electrician. After making the decision to change careers later in life, I realised that my greatest sense of purpose came from supporting people through life's challenges. Having worked in a trade before entering psychology gives me an appreciation of the pressures and experiences many everyday Australians face, and I enjoy connecting with people from all walks of life.
Your Approach
I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive and non-judgemental environment where people feel heard, understood and respected. I draw on a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness-based strategies, and evidence-based treatments for trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). My goal is to work collaboratively with you to build practical skills, strengthen resilience, process difficult experiences where appropriate, and help you move towards the life you value most.
