Our Team

ABOUT ME

I have experience working with adults but have a special interest in supporting the development and emotional wellbeing of children and adolescents. I have worked in primary and secondary schools, at a community centre and in private practice. 
I also have an interest in supporting those battling chronic illness and family adjustment, as I understand the challenges that living with chronic illness can present, seeking to assist both individuals and their families to better adapt and cope.
I have extensive experience in contributing to the community through charities and organisations such as the Smith Family and working with underprivileged and marginalised groups. I am trained as a General Psychologist, have a Masters in Professional Psychology and am a member of the Australian Psychological Association.

HOW I WILL WORK WITH YOU
