Psychologist and Family Therapist Melbourne

I’m Clarity Health Care’s Clinical Director, as well as a Psychologist and Family Therapist. I believe that the foundation to any therapeutic experience is a safe relationship fostered via collaboration, mutual respect, and authenticity. I have extensive experience working with individuals and families across the lifespan. 

I work from an attachment-based and trauma-informed lens and give weight to the impact of early childhood experiences on one’s psychological development. I have a special interest in working with a range of mood and anxiety disorders, interpersonal difficulties, grief, life transitions, and adverse childhood experiences, with a special interest in PTSD and Complex PTSD. 

I pride myself on my compassionate, emotion-focused, and psychodynamic approach. I also have extensive training in Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and a range of evidence-based family therapy modalities. 

I’ve held various clinical and leadership positions across acute mental health, psychotherapeutic, and holistic therapeutic teams.
