ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
I was born in rural NSW, and returned after 13 years working and studying in Sydney. I am passionate about providing mental health services to rural areas.
I love working as a psychologist. I lucked out, finding a field of study I am fascinated by, while also being able to help people understand themselves and make enormous changes in how they engage in life. I truly believe that when somebody understands all the factors connected to their current difficulties, big changes start to happen.
EXPERIENCE
I have extensive experience working in private practice and public health sectors working with acute, complex, and chronic mental health difficulties in adults.
This includes experience working in numerous inpatient units and community health teams, facilitating DBT groups and early intervention programs for psychosis and mood disorders, and providing support and psychological interventions in the management of acute mental illness.
