Professional Experience
Much of my experience has involved assessment and psychological intervention around generalised anxiety, social anxiety, depression, mood disorders, substance use, stress, adjustment, workplace issues, and relational difficulties.
I have worked to assist those seeking employment within the Department of Human Services and so have developed strong vocational skills. In addition, I have worked within private practice settings.
Before working as a psychologist, I trained and worked as a professional actor. This has uniquely placed me to work with highly creative individuals.
Faith-based Experience
In my professional and personal relationships, I work hard to be sensitive and respectful of people’s deeply held values around culture, identity and meaning in life. I am open to work inclusively with people of all faiths and belief systems.
