About


I am a Registered Psychologist with the Psychology Board of Australia (AHPRA) and a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS). I have extensive experience in the Mental Health field, specialising in Equine Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Logotherapy, and Mindfulness-based approaches.

I work with individuals across all age groups—children, adolescents, and adults—and have a deep understanding of the Australian Mental Health System, including the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). My approach is client-centred, and I work with evidence-based therapies to guide you through the healing process, helping you through personal challenges and move towards your goals.
nOne of the modalities I work with is Equine Therapy. My work with horses has a major influence on my therapeutic approach, especially in recognising that healing can often happen beyond verbal communication.
