I am a psychologist who's been in private practice for 13 years. Prior to this, I worked in various government and non-government organizations, starting my career in a Domestic Violence Service as a Child and Youth Counsellor. I also worked as a sexual assault worker for Qld Health. I went on to provide psychological counselling to adults in Domestic Violence and Abuse, and managed a Women's Refuge and Crisis Counselling Service. I was involved in a national project ""Seen but not heard"" creating training related to supporting children who have experienced Domestic Violence. Throughout my work history, I have supported both children and adult survivors of abuse and complex trauma.

I have over 15 years of experience working in a broad range of community, private, and not for profit child-focussed and mental health services.

My clinical focus is trauma and recovery.

I provide a range of psychological services utilising a wide variety of evidence-based therapies.

I am also NDIS and SIRA approved and can therefore provide psychological services under WorkCover.

I provide my services in person, by telephone and using online video conferencing technology.

My practices are located in Bowral and Crows Nest in NSW.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with 30 years experience, working for many years at senior levels in both child and adult public mental health services located at the Austin Hospital and Monash Medical Center. I moved into private practice about 10 years ago.

I am a registered Psychologist providing a range of trauma-specific and trauma-related treatments. My recent clinical experience included working for six years in a forensic setting and for the last seven months, I have been working with clients within a private psychology clinic in the community.

My practice involves assisting clients to address and manage past traumatic experiences (including post traumatic stress disorder) that have contributed to current difficulties and distress via tailored CBT treatments. I strive to provide a safe and respectful environment for clients during treatment as the experience of seeing a psychologist for trauma specific or related concerns can be anxiety provoking. Within the therapy sessions, I work collaboratively with my clients at a pace that's suitable and determined by them, with the understanding that talking and thinking about past traumatic experiences can cause distress. I also provide a supportive and contained space for grounding, calming and other skills to be practised, whilst taking a non-judgemental and accepting approach. The treatment plan and treatment options are individualised and based on clients' goals for therapy, with the aim to encourage and measure change in meaningful way.

I am currently practicing within a safe, welcoming clinic staffed by friendly and professional clinicians. I am also fluent in Mandarin and able to assist with clients who require a Mandarin-speaking psychologist.

If you have any questions about treatment which would like answered before considering what you would like to do, please feel free to contact me via the clinic. Inquiries can be made by email: [email protected] or by phone: 03 9434 4161.
