On Leave

I am a Clinical Psychologist with a Master of Psychology (Clinical Psychology) from Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia (2023).

I’ve had the privilege of working across the full spectrum of care—from acute inpatient hospital settings and community mental health to disability services, employee assistance programs, and private practice. These experiences have given me insight into how I want to work with people—that is, focusing on their strengths and building authentic relationships to support them to reach their own personal goals.

I am a direct, curious, collaborative, and empathetic clinician, passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and adults with a range of presenting issues, including anxiety and depressive disorders. I have a particular interest in supporting clients with obsessive compulsive and related disorders, personality disorders, clinical perfectionism, grief and loss, identity issues, self-esteem, and assertiveness. I primarily provide CBT, schema, and MBT-informed psychological intervention. I am committed to working with those who are neurodivergent, offering neurodiversity-affirming psychological intervention and assessments including comprehensive Autism and ADHD assessments.

Besides my interest in psychology, I am also an avid Pokémon fan and collector and am passionate about philosophy. I practice yoga and Chen Tai Chi and enjoy being outdoors, engaging in camping, hiking, and cycling.
