I am a certified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT Australia) with specialist training in Trauma Focussed CBT (TF-CBT Australia). I am also trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Family System Therapy, and Solution Focussed Brief Therapy.

I have a particular interest in using interventions based on Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and a Narrative Therapy approach using a creative therapy framework and hold certificates in Drama Therapy (The Dramatherapy Centre Sydney) and certifications in Psychodrama (AANZPA).

My area of specialisation is in Child and Adolescent psychology. With extensive experience in child protection and work across government (DCJ and JIRT) and non-government agencies (e.g. Brighter Futures) across 15 years, I have worked in youth mental health (12-30 years of age) at Headspace since 2016. I work with children, adolescents, and young people (12 to 30 years old) as well as significant others from their support network, and have worked for the Fit4life program, young parents’ program, and residential programs such as Boystown and Windgap Foundation.

My special interest is in youth mental health, individual and intergenerational trauma, complex family systems, brain-body interaction and the science-practitioner model.

I am passionate about Narrative Therapy which centres you as the experts in your own life. I value the opportunity to view problems as separate from you and co-researching the skills, competencies, beliefs, values, commitments and abilities that you have to reduce the influence of problems in your life.

I appreciate learning the stories of your life and supporting you as you negotiate with grief and loss, depression, trauma, stress, anxiety, deconstructing and reconstructing spirituality, considerations of identity and sexuality, challenges of immigration, navigating polyamorous relationships and ongoing health challenges.

I am registered with Medibank Private, Bupa, HCF and the Australian Regional Health Group (ARHG). Other funds may provide cover for counselling; please confirm your entitlements with your provider. Sessions are also available under WorkCover NSW and the NDIS.
