I am a registered psychologist in Victoria with a wealth of experience in mental health and early parenting. I work in partnership with my clients and their families and adopt a holistic approach to encourage them to take the actions needed to achieve their desired outcomes. I have worked in government, court, hospital and community settings and am now seeking to consolidate and refine my skills in private practice. I am also a wife, a mum of two boys, a horse rider and a Demons fan who believes a good sense of humour and a work life balance are integral to my success as a psychologist.
Specialty Field
My passion in psychology is for infant mental health, post natal & early parenting work. I have extensive experience in working with post natal depression & anxiety, both in clinical/ hospital settings and in the clients home. I also have excellent skills in sleeping and settling techniques for infants and children, whom I believe, lay the foundations for an infants health and development. Sleep issues in infants and children underpin a substantial number of mental health issues for parents which can be more effectively addressed when the sleep problems are resolved. Bonding and attachment, infant behaviour and parental self confidence increase visibly when parents understand what their infant is trying to communicate and can respond accordingly, and this is psycho education I have the skills and expertise to provide.
Other specialties
