Hi. I am a Clinical Psychologist based in Perth, Western Australia. My approach draws on a range of evidence based interventions to support adjustment or manage mental, emotional, or relational difficulties. Most importantly, I seek to provide a genuinely open/curious approach, which provides a safe place to explore difficult issues. In addition to my clinical qualifications I have undertaken advanced training in Schema Therapy and I am registered as an MBT Practitioner (Mentalization Based Treatment)

​Registered with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulatory Agency)
​Member of ACPA (the Australian Clinical Psychology Association).
Fellow of the Australian Psychological Society College of Clinical Psychologists
