I am a Counselling Psychologist, and my practice is currently located in the regional city of Ballarat. I specialise in working with children and adolescents, with referral pathways including the TAC, NDIS, Child Protection, G. P’s, and Pediatricians. Presenting issues include anxiety, post-traumatic stress response and disorder, grief, depression, chronic health issues, ASD, ADHD, disorders of conduct and emotion, and disorders of social functioning.
I work in a collaborative, trauma informed, evidenced based framework, and my main area of interest is in the developing minds of children and the internalised, mental representations that they build in response to their lived experience.
Prior to working in private practice, I held roles in the wider Mental Health Sector that included research, and program development in co-designed and inclusive models of recovery.
When not working I paint, write, enjoy long beach walks, and spend highly valued time with friends and family.
