I began my career as a nurse in the public health system, where I soon discovered that my true passion lay in connecting with people through listening to their stories, offering emotional support and helping them navigate their way through life’s challenges. This realisation led me to pursue further study and retrain as a Psychologist.

With over 20 years of experience in mental health and wellbeing, I have had the privilege of working with individuals across the lifespan in a variety of settings, including the Department of Health and Human Services, across community health services and in various schools. After a decade (2012 to 2024) as the head of Counselling in a large private co-educational school supporting students and their families through a wide range of challenges. I am excited to return to supporting adults of all ages, from young people moving into adulthood, to older adults navigating life’s changes and challenges. I am committed to providing a thoughtful, evidence-based, and compassionate approach tailored to each person’s unique needs and circumstances.

In addition to providing individual psychological services, I am a board approved supervisor and offer supervision to early career Psychologists with a particular interest in supporting Psychologists new to a school psychology role. I’m passionate about mentoring and guiding Psychologists as they develop their skills and confidence in this unique setting

I am also an accredited Youth Mental Health First Aid (YMHFA) instructor and have been delivering courses since 2017 within organisations and schools. I am passionate about empowering and equipping adults with the skills to assist adolescents experiencing mental health problems or crises. YMHFA training teaches adults how to recognise the signs of mental health issues in young people, how to approach them with support and encourage them to seek professional help.
