I am a Registered Psychologist with a background working in public mental health services in the NSW Central West. I made the jump into private practice in 2014 when I moved to the Newcastle area. I have been associated with the APS since 2005 and have served on committees in various roles with both the Western Region branch and the Newcastle branch. The APS has been a wonderful support professionally over the years and provides a great way to network with other psychologists. In practice I use a range of therapeutic approaches, but since training in EMDR in 2016 this has been my focus. I am an EMDR Accredited Practitioner, Consultant in Training, and Treasurer of the APS EMDR Therapy and Psychology Interest Group.
