Who Am I?
My style is warm and focused, challenging and compassionate and dedicated to helping people heals their pasts, improve their present and future lives and achieve their lifestyle goals.
I completed an honours level degree majoring in psychology, a master’s degree researching a forensic psychology topic, and a diploma in alternative medicine. As a keen student I won three university scholarships and an invitation to the Golden Key International Honours Society.
I began my career whilst at university, working for eight years in a psychiatric hospital. I then moved to Australia in 2016 to train and register with APHRA as a psychologist.
As I found trauma to be the most common dominator, it made sense to me to study it as thoroughly as possible. I began with trauma focused CBT, schema therapy and other talk therapies, then hypnosis, and in the past three years I've studied and practiced EMDR and find it to be very effective.
