My work with individuals from such diverse communities has developed my interest in helping people with life experiences or interpersonal issues that cause them emotional pain, distress or confusion. This issues could stem from trauma, personality, anxiety, depression, difficulty with emotional regulation or experiencing loss and grief. I am experienced in managing dual diagnosis clients with complex presentations. I am comfortable assessing treatment needs and assisting clients in make positive change to unhelpful behavioral patterns as well as improving their mental health and general life situation. My passion lies in helping people make positive meaningful change in their life. I work from a client centered approach. My aim to develop a safe therapeutic space where self exploration and understanding is possible. Individual evidence-based techniques are developed from a combination from my training background in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Narrative Therapy. I offer both short and longer term counselling. I would be happy to discuss options further by phone or appointment. I am a registered psychologist with APRHA and an Associate Member of the Australian Psychological Association committed to maintaining the highest standards of psychological care.
