More about me...
Originally from country NSW, I am now living and working on the Gold Coast after spending some years in Far North QLD…. I am a mother and wife and have 2 wonderful boys who are primary school age.
​
I am a Registered Psychologist and have experience working with a diverse range of clients including those who have been impacted by trauma (incl. Veterans and Emergency Services), addiction, personality difficulties including Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), depression and anxiety. I have a particular interest in working with adult ADHD'ers to navigate the challenges associated with an ADHD diagnosis and work from a neuroaffirming perspective (see below). Additionally, I also enjoy supporting parents to better understand and support their neurodivergent children and how their unique brains work, in a more collaborative way.
​​
I am currently accepting referrals for:
​
-
Adult (17+) ADHD/Autistic clients who are wanting to explore their neurotype and/or seeking support for the challenges related to their ADHD/neurodivergence including co-occurring anxiety/depression/trauma.
-
Other mental health diagnoses and difficulties including depression, anxiety, emotion regulation difficulties, stress management and self esteem
-
Parenting stress
-
Interpersonal difficulties
-
Substance Use/Addiction
​
What is neuroaffirming (NA)? As a NA Psychologist I respect difference and diversity. I see ADHD/Autism as a neurotype and not something to be 'treated' but rather a brain that works differently. I help you to build skills based on your strengths, interests and individual needs. I aim to wherever possible, create a therapeutic environment that is neurodivergent-friendly.
​
As a NA Psychologist, areas I can help with: include: stress, anxiety or depression that often co-occurs with ADHD/Autism, ADHD coaching topics, exploring your executive function strengths and weaknesses, addressing substance use issues, exploring accessibility supports, parent support (raising neurodivergent kids), parent support (being an ADHDer yourself), burnout and strategies work best for you when it comes to time management, procrastination and emotion regulation.

How does it work?
Step 1: Contact me to explore appointment availability and whether we are a good fit (you may already have a referral or mental healthcare plan. If not, arrange to get this if you would like to claim a Medicare rebate).
​
Step 2: Book in a session. Ensure you have good internet access and earphones/headphones ahead of your appointment time. We might arrange to do a trial run prior to appointment to ensure technology is working ok for you. Don't worry, I will send reminder texts!
​
Step 3: On the day of your appointment, click on the private website link I send you via email to enter the telehealth session.
