Additional Information: I have been working with children, adolescents and adults since 2008 and am a registered psychologist with AHPRA. I provide face-to-face counselling at a private practice clinic in Sydney's inner west on Saturday and some telehealth sessions throughout the week during the evenings.
My areas of strength include working with anxiety and trauma and depression.
I also work with a team of psychologists at a university in Armidale to support wellness.
I have worked as part of a tertiary service to build capacity in school-based colleagues on how to better meet the needs of students with complex trauma from refugee-related experiences.
I run a private clinic on Saturdays from 20 Jarrett St, Leichhardt (Sydney's Inner West). I work with adults, children and adolescents, particularly related to (but not limited to) individuals impacted by anxiety, trauma and depression.
I also write picture books and have written a children's picture book using ACT (the first book to incorporate multiple ACT processes in a narrative arc) which is due for publication with Penguin Random House in mid-2023.
I have a Facebook page called "FruitionPsychology" where I share information about these areas from time to time. For more information visit www.fruitionpsychology.com.au
The values which underpin my work are diversity, wellbeing, connectedness, empowerment, learning, and creativity. I am also a writer.
