Professional Biography
I am a registered Clinical Psychologist working in private practice. I completed a clinical doctorate at Griffith University which is a seven year program. I have been working in private practice for eight years treating adolescents, adults and older persons. I have extensive experience in working with those with complex mental health difficulties, particularly adult survivors of child sexual abuse, PTSD and Complex PTSD, ADHD, and chronic pain.
My approach to therapy is not to just treat the symptoms but consider the underlying difficulties that maintain one's suffering. Patients often present with stress, depression and anxiety, however, my goal is to look below the surface and determine what is driving these symptoms. I use a number of strategies including techniques from schema therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behaviour therapy.
