Choosing the right psychologist is a meaningful and personal decision.
I offer thoughtful, evidence-based support grounded in the latest research and attuned to your unique strengths, needs, and life story. My aim is to create a space where you feel respected, supported, and truly understood — a space where real transformation is possible.
I’ve worked across a variety of mental health settings, including non-government organisations (NGOs), remote community services, and settings, and private practice, gaining experience with diverse populations and presentations.
I bring a strong clinical background in alcohol and other drugs (AOD) and have a special interest in ADHD, particularly for adult women, while also working with a broad range of concerns across the life span.
Whether you're seeking clarity, practical coping tools, or deeper personal insight, I offer a holistic, client-centred approach informed by a range of evidence-based therapies.
I am currently completing my final year of Masters in Applied Clinical Psychology, Murdoch University Perth WA.
I specialise in therapy with individuals and couples. Limited spaces are also available for children and adolescents. My practice is guided by compassion, curiosity, and a deep belief in each person’s capacity to grow — even from the most difficult of places.

Current Project
My Research
Unmasking ADHD: Australian Women’s Experiences of ADHD During Perimenopause and Menopause
As part of my Master of Applied Psychology (Clinical), I am currently undertaking a quantitative research project exploring the retrospective experiences of women diagnosed with ADHD in midlife. This study aims to deepen understanding around the intersection of perimenopause, menopause and ADHD impact. I hope this research will inform better clinical support neurodivergent women.
