Psychologist
Have you reached a crossroads where you've decided the path you've been travelling isn't getting you where you want to go? I've dedicated my career to helping people change old patterns, develop insight, and live with integrity and joy. Good therapy can be a joyful experience, despite the need to discuss stressful, sad or shameful things. There's beauty in developing insight and making choices from a place of awareness rather than habit or fear.

You may benefit from relaxation techniques or other techniques to manage your mood or anxiety, or you may prefer a "sounding board" approach that will work strategically to create positive change. Or you're facing a difficult decision and need help working out the costs and benefits of the choices. Sometimes support is needed when your emotional response threatens to overwhelm you. I believe that crisis can provide opportunity for growth, and we can can learn to live life with integrity & joy.
I am fully registered with the Psychologists Registration Board and a member of the Australian Psychological Association. I follow the professional and ethical guidelines set by these organisations.
I've been working in mental health, education & counselling for nearly two decades. I was a sexuality educator for Planned Parenthood while I finished my BA (cum laude, Psychology & Education) & did my MA at Univ. of Missouri & Sydney Uni, finishing 1995.
I was Director of Counselling at Preterm Foundation until I started private practice in 2004. I'm the author of "Normal: The True Story of a Complicated Family", a memoir about family and concepts of normality (Text Publishing, 2009)
