Trauma Support Providers

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 complex trauma, adult survivors of child sexual abuse, post-traumatic stress, chronic pain, dementia, psychosis, grief and loss, adult ADHD, relationship difficulties as well as men's and women's health issues.\

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.
