About
A little about me...
I am a Registered Psychotherapist, with a background in recreation therapy. My experience lies in working with individuals with various diagnoses including post-traumatic stress disorder, intellectual disabilities, personality disorders, mood and anxiety disorders and psychosis. I have the unique experience of combining treatment for mental health with preferred activities, which help to alleviate stress, promote positive coping behaviours and improve self-esteem.
I am passionate about making therapy a safe space where you can come to be heard non-judgementally, pushed outside of your comfort zone and learn about yourself.
My education includes an Honours Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Post-Graduate Certificate in Therapeutic Recreation and a Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology.
I have specialized knowledge and/or training in:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Compassion Informed Therapy
Trauma Treatment for Children*
Family Trauma Therapy*
