I work from an attachment-based and relational perspective and incorporate varied behavioural and psychodynamic therapies into my practice. With adolescents and adults, I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Schema Therapy. My early career experiences working with complex and severe trauma inspired a strongly trauma-informed approach and further training in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). Across all of my work, I aim to support you to build a healthy sense of self and adaptive ways of coping to enable you to connect with yourself and others and to live a fulfilling life. I am also passionate about feedback and outcome-informed practice, ensuring that therapy is transparent, collaborative, and genuinely effective in supporting meaningful change.

I have expertise in evidence-based parenting and child interventions, including the Integrated Family Intervention for Child Conduct Problems and the Cool Kids Anxiety Program. When working with children and families, I prioritise the importance of parent-child attachments and support families to make meaningful changes together.

Additionally, I am trained in the Gottman Method and can support couples to better understand their relationship needs, improve their friendship, and build practical skills in communication and managing conflicts.

I hold a Bachelor of Science with First Class Honours and a PhD in Psychology from the University of Sydney, and a Master of Psychology Practice (Clinical) (with Excellence) from the Australian College of Applied Professions. I am a board-approved supervisor (PSY0002178876) with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS).

I have previously worked in private practice, as a group therapist in public and private hospitals, in NSW public schools, and at the Sydney Child Behaviour Research Clinic. I currently hold a senior psychologist position at Northern Beaches Hospital, where I work across all mental health wards and provide supervision to clinical psychology interns.

I have also worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Sydney and the University of Technology Sydney, and am a recurring guest lecturer for postgraduate clinical psychology students at the University of Sydney. My PhD research explored varied individual experiences in the peer-to-peer support program for alcohol issues, Alcoholics Anonymous.
