About me

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience, deeply committed to fostering growth, confidence, and professional identity in both therapy and supervision. I completed my undergraduate and honours training at James Cook University in Townsville, followed by a Master of Clinical Psychology at the University of Sydney. I am STAP-trained and provide supervision to Clinical Registrars, fully registered psychologists, and practitioners on the 5+1 pathway.

I currently serve as Discipline Lead for Psychology across the Metro South district at Princess Alexandra Hospital, where I oversee a team of 25 psychologists. My approach to supervision is reflective, process-focused, and individually tailored, with particular expertise in working with complex presentations, including personality disorders and trauma-related difficulties.

My clinical career spans a broad range of settings. I have extensive experience in trauma-informed therapy and have facilitated both DBT and CBT groups. I have conducted DBT training workshops and lectures for Postgraduate Clinical Psychology interns. I have worked within school systems supporting children and adolescents, and previously served as a psychologist with the Queensland Police, gaining valuable insight into high-pressure environments and diverse clinical presentations

As an AHPRA‑approved supervisor, I develop and assess core competencies in assessment, intervention, ethics, communication, and reflective practice. Using methods such as direct observation, case discussion, role‑play, and structured feedback, I support supervisees in meeting registration requirements while building confidence and professional identity.

At the heart of my work is a deep curiosity about people and a commitment to helping supervisees develop a clear, authentic professional voice. I believe supervision is more than the development of technical skill — it is a process of becoming.

In the first meeting, I review expectations and ensure a good fit, then identify areas for growth. Depending on your requirements, sessions may focus on specific cases, building case formulations, linking practice to theory, treatment planning, and evaluating outcomes.

Barriers and challenges are explored openly, with an emphasis on learning from the trickiest cases — the ones where you feel stuck or where mistakes have been made. I believe supervision should never feel intimidating; it is a safe, supportive space where honesty and reflection are encouraged without judgment.

Outside of my clinical work, I am passionate about dancing, particularly West Coast Swing. I experience strong parallels between dance and supervision: timing, connection, attunement, and adaptability. There are structures that guide both disciplines, yet it is the relational rhythm that allows the work to feel alive and responsive. As a supervisor, I see my role as offering guidance and structure while creating the space for dynamic, reciprocal growth.

Whether you are seeking a supervisor with expertise in complex cases, trauma therapy, personality disorders, or general support, I would be honoured to offer you tailored supervision to help you on your professional journey.
