About


I am a Provisional Psychologist, currently completing a Master of Clinical Psychology at Western Sydney University (WSU). I have experience working with children and adults with a range of presentations, including anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, adjustment disorder and personality disorders. My experience has been within a university clinic setting. I have previously completed a PhD at WSU exploring women's premenstrual embodiment and body dissatisfaction and am an Associate Research Fellow at WSU researching women's sexual and reproductive health and marginalised population health. I am an Associate Editor at the Women's Reproductive Health Journal.


I practice predominantly within a CBT framework. I aim to provide a safe and collaborative space for my clients where treatment is tailored to meet their needs and inclusive of their goals.
