Philosophy & Vision
I’m a Clinical Psychologist on Brisbane’s Northside, and I help people who want to find the place inside themselves that is centred, grounded, compassionate and wise when all they are feeling at the moment is anxiety, stress, shame or grief. Together through therapeutic conversation and exploration we will look at the patterns, new and old, that keep you trapped from feeling like yourself. My approach is evidence-based, weaving together mindfulness and compassion-based therapies, Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, EMDR, ACT and somatic techniques, in a therapeutic relationship that is connected and co-created. The clients I work with are diverse, from adults (& young adults with anxiety), therapists who want their own therapy, people who are grieving, struggling with alcohol or substance abuse, or clients who know they need IFS and EMDR to process their past.
Background
I have clinical experience across various inpatient and outpatient settings in the private and public sectors. In my private practice I provide psychotherapy for a range of concerns including (but not limited to): depression and mood problems, trauma, anxiety and stress, grief and loss, adjustment and life transitions, addictive behaviours, relationship or interpersonal problems. My doctoral thesis focused on family caregivers providing care to a loved one at end-of-life at home and I worked for 7 years at Karuna Hospice Services in addition to private practice. Thus, I have expertise working with issues related to caregiving, end-of-life, death and grief and loss.
Services
I provide psychotherapy to adults who are seeking help with anxiety, trauma, substance misuse, and bereavement grief. Using an integrative approach, I tailor treatment to suit the goals and preferences of each client, primarily using Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness and compassion-based therapies informed by attachment and psychodynamic understanding. I also draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-focused therapy (CFT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) as appropriate.
Quality Provision
I am a registered psychologist with the Psychology Board of Australia and a full member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS). I am endorsed in the specialised practice area of clinical psychology.
I am a level 2 IFS Therapist . I have completed a 2-year professional postgraduate training in Buddhism and Psychotherapy through the Australian Association of Buddhist Counsellors and Psychotherapists (AABCAP) and am a full member.

Therapy Approach
My overall approach is integrative. I believe it is important to provide a treatment that fits each unique person with whom I work. I have a person-centred, strengths-based and optimistic view of human nature and our potential. My primary orientations are mindfulness and compassion-based therapies embedded in an experiential approach to support a deepening of self-understanding and acceptance from which beneficial change can emerge from the inside-out. As appropriate to each person's goals and preferences, I draw on various therapies including Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy (Level 2 trained), EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), and Motivational Interviewing.
