I am a generalist Psychologist who provides quality mental health care in my local community.
You will get the most out of therapy if you come into it open-minded and ready for us to work as a team to get you on a positive track. I will work in conjunction with your doctor and your other healthcare professionals to ensure you have the best outcomes we can provide. I am available to see you, online or in person.
Who am I, Where am I, What do I do
I am a registered Psychologist in private practice located in Cordalba, Queensland and am available for telehealth or face-to-face appointments.
In 1989, as a sole parent, I decided that I needed to get a career to better support my family. Psychology was an area that I had always been interested in, so I took the opportunity to study at USQ by distance and graduated in 1994, with a Bachelor of Applied Science and a Graduate Diploma in Applied Science, both majoring in Psychology. In 2016, I went on to further study at Griffith University and graduated with a Master of Criminology and Criminal Justice.
My early Psychologist career was spent working in the Domestic and Family Violence sector, where I worked for 14 years before starting work at a local university. I worked there as a Student Counsellor and then became a lecturer and Access Coordinator in the pathways program. In this role, I supported students to enter university studies that involved a degree of motivational counselling, so I am well-skilled across a large area of counselling needs.
I have an interest in anxiety, stress and depression, but am also able to work with a broad range of psychological concerns. I work from a positive psychology perspective.
Positive psychology means that we do not just look at what is going wrong in your life, we look at what is going well and how to make it better. This helps to strengthen your resilience and coping skills.
“Each day brings a fresh opportunity for you to set the standard of how dedicated and committed you are to your needs, wants, goals, and relationships.”
