I am a Medicare and AHPRA-registered Psychologist, working in the field for 20+ years across both public and private settings. My approach is founded on the belief that the most effective therapy is built on a genuine partnership and a deep respect for the client's journey.

My Approach: Tailored Integrative Psychology

​​

I have found that no single theory or technique holds all the answers. This conviction guides my methodology, which I call Tailored Integrative Psychology. Rather than fitting you to a pre-set model, I commit to customizing the therapeutic process entirely around you.

I draw upon two decades of learning and the latest developments in global psychology to select the most appropriate intervention. I thoughtfully tailor this approach based on your unique goals, your personality, the issues you are facing, and where you are in your healing process. This ensures our work together is relevant, respectful, and truly focused on your individual needs.

​

What You Can Expect​

​

I aim to facilitate a space where you feel safe, understood, and capable of growth:

• A Non-Judgmental Space: I approach our sessions with humility and genuine curiosity, seeking to understand your mind and your experiences without preconceived notions.

• Collaboration and Openness: I value authenticity and communication above all else. I invite you to share openly, allowing us to build a safe, collaborative environment that supports your individual development and improves your relationships.

• Commitment to Learning: I remain a passionate student of psychology, dedicated to continually enhancing my professional knowledge so that I can offer you the best possible care.
