Areas of Practice

Psychotherapy

Whether you’re struggling with stress, feeling anxious, or overwhelmed by life, it can really help to talk it through. I’m not here to judge or offer a quick fix. I’m your even-keel and trusted confidant, here to help you work through the worry.

Adult Psychiatry

If you’re suffering with mental health, emotional or behavioural conditions or disorders, you’re in the right place. As a specialist clinician, I am qualified and experienced to diagnose and offer medical advice as well as therapeutic solutions.

Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

In this fast-paced modern world, children are searching for belonging. I take a holistic and respectful approach to child and adolescent mental health. I provide comprehensive assessment, diagnosis and treatment with a strong focus on early intervention

Perinatal Psychiatry

I provide complete prenatal and postnatal assessment and intervention for women with mental health concerns. Gain advice on preconception, get medication reviewed, infant mental health, and more.

Clinical Supervision

I offer tailored clinical supervision and mentoring for psychiatry trainees, early-career psychiatrists, psychologists and mental health professionals. As an accredited RANZCP supervisor, I provide expert guidance in clinical care, psychotherapy, and professional development.
