Clarity, Connection, Compassion.

Helping adults navigate trauma, life transitions and emotional wellbeing through compassionate, evidence-based therapy.

I am a warm, experienced Registered Psychologist with almost 20 years of clinical experience helping adults navigate life's challenges with greater confidence, resilience and self-understanding. I am committed to creating a safe, respectful and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients feel genuinely heard, supported and empowered to make meaningful change.

I believe that effective therapy is about more than reducing symptoms. It is about developing insight, strengthening emotional wellbeing, and helping people reconnect with what matters most so they can live with greater purpose, authenticity and psychological flexibility.

Over the course of my career, I have supported clients experiencing a broad range of psychological difficulties and life challenges. I have particular clinical interests in trauma, attachment and relationships, anxiety, significant life transitions, women's midlife wellbeing, and the psychological impact of perimenopause and menopause.

Drawing on a range of evidence-based therapies, I tailor treatment to each individual's needs and goals. My therapeutic approaches include:

  • EMDR

  • Schema Therapy

  • Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Solution-Focused Therapy

In addition to clinical work, I am the Clinical Director of Succoris Psychology and a Board-Approved Supervisor, providing supervision and mentoring to psychologists and clinicians working towards registration.
