Meet The Core Psychology Team

I obtained a Master of Clinical Psychology from the University of Technology. I have experience assessing and treating adults, children and families in University and community settings. I work with a range of presentations including anxiety, depression and other mood disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder.

I am passionate about providing warm and empathic support to clients using a variety of evidence based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). I have a particular interest in working with young adults as they manage the transition into adulthood. In addition to providing individual therapy in private practice I conduct psychometric assessments at a specialised centre.

I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Western Sydney and have experience in various areas of psychology within different settings. These include the provision of therapy in private practice, working in Occupational Rehabilitation, and providing health and vocational counselling to a number of Government agencies.

I have experience providing psychological treatment across a widespread of clientele from pre-school aged children, to adolescents and right through to clients in late adulthood. I am passionate about working with children and adolescents, and have worked within primary and secondary school settings completing behavioural and/or psychometric testing as well as observations.

I use a variety of therapeutic models and tailor these to assist with my client’s presenting issues. These include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy, Relaxation Therapy, Play and Art Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I like to be creative in my therapeutic approach and think outside the norm to ensure my clients become resilient and obtain the best possible outcome from their therapy experience.

I have worked in psychology since graduating in 2009 with a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) from the University of Western Sydney.

I have experience providing psychological support to adults, adolescents and children, utilising a range of interventions including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based therapy, family-based therapy (including structural, systemic and narrative approaches), parent management training and an understanding of relationships informed by attachment theory. I have provided these interventions in a variety of formats including individually, within family units, and through facilitation of group sessions.

I am committed to continuing professional development and am currently studying to complete a Master of Clinical Psychology at the Australian College of Applied Psychology (ACAP). My work at Core Psychology will enable me to satisfy the practical requirements of the course.

I am excited to engage genuinely and collaboratively with clients, and to provide interventions guided by evidence-based practises.

I acquired a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology from the Australian College of Applied Psychology. I am interested in working with individuals throughout the lifespan and have experience working across both the private and non-government sectors. My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and individualised in response to each person’s unique needs. I have experience in various evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Schema Therapy and Somatic approaches. In addition to my role in private practice I am currently working as both a trauma counsellor and professional trainer in a non-government organisation.
