I am a Registered Psychologist and Behaviour Support Practitioner with a passion for working with children and their families. I have worked in the disability sector for over eight years, allowing me to gain experience in various different techniques and strategies. I strongly believe it takes a village to raise a child and enjoy working with parents, teachers, and caregivers as a unit to support young people.
As much as adults use verbal language to communicate, children use play, which is why I aim to ensure all of my sessions are playful and adapted to the client’s interests. I believe therapy doesn’t have to be formal to be therapeutic. My areas of interest include Child Centred Play Therapy (CCPT), diagnostic assessments, and the Polyvagal Theory.
I service Secret Harbour and surrounds, providing NDIS services (Psychology & BSP), play therapy, privately funded services, and assessments (ASD & ADHD).

More recently I have worked across the lifespan in both Psychology and Behaviour Support, predominately with children.

I am a proficient level Behaviour Support Practitioner who loves working with people of all ages. As a member and parent in the neurodivergent community, I am passionate about supporting people with disabilities in exercising their right to choice and control in their lives. Taking a person-centred approach to therapy, I am committed to removing barriers to empowerment by collaborating with the participant and their supports. I believe that learning is a two-way street and am always open to feedback on how I can improve the experience.
My background is in suicide prevention, harm minimisation, and sexualised behaviours, having provided support in both the disability and mainstream sectors. While safe sexual exploration and protective behaviours are my favourite areas to work in, my therapeutic interests also include behaviour modelling, internal motivation, reinforcement, and mindfulness.
