Senior Psychologist, Hobart

I am highly experienced in clinical, community, and private practice settings.  I see adults, adolescents and children of all ages, for individual, couple, family and group sessions.

Psychology with me may include a range of therapeutic approaches and models, including: CBT, ACT, Narrative Therapy, and will be individually tailored with take home information and ‘homework’.

My approach is compassionate, clear, person-focused and empathetic. I have been described as ‘insightful, clear, direct, honest and warm – with a good sense of humour’. My consultation room is comfortable, welcoming and private. I acknowledge, with gratitude, the invaluable and unique training that enriches my practice through clients’ sharing of their personal stories.

I currently practice in Sandy Bay, Hobart – face to face and Telehealth appointments available.
