Trauma Support Providers

Professional Biography

I’m a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, and the founder of Ascent Psychology in Newstead, Brisbane. I have over 23 years of experience working across private and public mental health settings in Australia and overseas.

In my work, I aim to provide a space where people can explore their experiences openly and at their own pace. Many of the individuals I see are managing a great deal internally, like anxiety, overthinking, or relationship difficulties, while continuing to function well in their day-to-day lives.

I take a psychodynamic approach to therapy, which means we focus on understanding the deeper patterns that shape how you think, feel, and relate to others. This often involves exploring past experiences, emotional responses, and recurring themes that may not be immediately obvious.

Some people come to see me after trying other forms of therapy, and feeling that something was missing. I aim to offer a space where we can slow things down, reflect more deeply, and make sense of what may be underlying these experiences.

Therapy is a collaborative process. Rather than offering quick solutions, I work with you to develop a clearer understanding of your internal world, which can lead to more meaningful and lasting change over time.

I offer sessions in English and Spanish, both in person and via telehealth.
