I am a registered Clinical Psychologist with several years of experience across both public and private settings. In my practice, I use a warm, empathic, and engaging therapy style, and believe strongly in tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs and goals of each client. I have extensive experience as an ACC assessor across both the Sensitive Claims and Physical Injury contracts, and have worked with clients presenting with a wide range of psychological difficulties and life experiences.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our two young sons, and our dog. I love getting outdoors for walks, catching up with family and friends, and playing indoor netball. I value connection, balance, and maintaining an active lifestyle, which I believe also helps inform the grounded and relational approach I bring to my clinical work.
