Professional Experience
I have worked across private, governmental and community based environments, working with families and individuals in a private practice and generalist settings. In this time, I have worked within family homes, virtually and in person, and developed expertise in working with high risk behaviours in young people, and adults at risk of offending and/or at risk of self harm, and with families at risk due to trauma, substance use or interpersonal violence.
I completed a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) at the University of New South Wales and a Masters in Clinical Psychology at Macquarie University.
