My Story
I completed my Bachelor of Psychology (Honours 1st Class) at Charles Sturt University and pursued my Master of Professional Psychology at Macquarie University. Additionally, I hold Diplomas in Training and Assessment, Learning Design and Development, and Business Administration. I am registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and have undertaken advanced training in Schema Therapy, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and evidence-based neurodivergent support approaches. My professional journey also includes teaching in vocational colleges, offering unique insights into how assessment and intervention can aid us in navigating the challenges of learning and life.
My approach centres on affirmation and a trauma-informed perspective in both assessment and intervention. I strongly believe that assessment is just one aspect of understanding how we learn and engage with the world. This comprehension can shed light on areas of strength or difficulty and guide decisions regarding future development and support. I integrate the latest research with compassionate care, creating an inclusive and supportive environment.
​
On a personal note, I have two adult children who have taken very different paths through school, TAFE, and university. When I'm not engaged in my work, I indulge in watching K-Dramas, exploring new languages, trying diverse cuisines, and cherishing moments with my family and pets.
