MEET YOUR CLINICIAN

 I am a Registered Psychologist with a passion for supporting women and families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum and the many transitions that come with becoming and being a parent.  My background includes working across the lifespan in clinical and school settings, and since returned to perinatal mental health. I have a particular interest in pregnancy and postpartum mental health, birth trauma, perinatal anxiety and depression, identity changes, parenting, emotional regulation and the adjustment to parenthood. 

I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgement, expectations or pressure to have everything figured out. You don't need to be in crisis to seek support, and you don't need to minimise what you're experiencing because you feel you should be grateful, happy or coping better. My approach is warm, collaborative, compassionate and trauma-informed. I recognise that our experiences, relationships and environments all influence how we understand ourselves and navigate the world. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I aim to understand the whole person and the experiences that have shaped them.

I draw on evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) and strengths-based interventions. I tailor therapy to your individual needs, values and circumstances, recognising that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health or motherhood. At the heart of my work is the belief that you deserve to be supported as a person, not just in your role as a parent.

I offer psychology sessions via telehealth, providing a flexible and accessible space for support, wherever you are in your journey through parenthood.
