I am a registered psychologist with 25 years experience in private practice. My educational qualifications are a BA (Psychology) from Macquarie University and a MA with Merit from the University of Sydney.

In the last 12 years I have specialized in relationships between couples and also helping individuals trying to find a better relationship with themselves and their own life.

Over the years, training in a number of different modalities has strengthened my therapeutic techniques and continues to do so. Additionally, I draw upon what I have learnt from clients, friends, colleagues and my own experiences. In part I utilize cognitive behavioural, narrative, and Jungian approaches. There are both common and unique difficulties in all relationships and I consider my role is to assist you find the way through those times, helping with a map but not choosing your direction.

Despite being female, I have been able to build strong rapport with male clients. Often this enables us to find a communication bridge.

I am registered to accept Medicare and private insurance claims.
