I completed my university studies in 1999 and have been in continuous private practice since early 2007. I have also counselled across a variety of settings including private and public hospital palliative care, Relationships Australia, Queensland Cancer Fund and Kumbari Avenue Special School. I bring a broad range of life experiences to my psychology practice including a previous background as a senior business executive and university lecturer and researcher.
I have a special interest in working with complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety and panic disorders. I am primarily an EMDR Therapist and combine EMDR Therapy with numerous therapeutic approaches including Gestalt Therapy and mindfulness.
I work with my clients towards their therapeutic goals, such as to develop healthier and more effective coping strategies, resolve adverse life experiences, increase self-awareness, experience better relationships, and live meaningful and fulfilling lives.
I am a Fellow of Australian Association of Psychologists, a Member and Accredited Practitioner of EMDR Association of Australia, and a Member of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation.
