I have been working as a clinical psychologist since 2010 across a range of public, private, youth, and adult mental health settings. I have experience working with individuals, groups, and couples. I have trained in a range of therapies including:

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (‘ACT’)

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

  • Dialectical Behavioural Therapy

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy

  • Compassion Focused Therapy

  • Prolonged Exposure

  • Schema Therapy

  • Motivational Interviewing

My passion, both personally and professionally, is with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. “ACT” is a versatile model that I use to work with clients across a broad range issues. ACT is informed by rigorous scientific research and ethical and philosophical ideas about human behaviour, cognition, mindfulness and values. I help teach the ACT model to clients so they too have a foundation to approach life’s inevitable challenges with.

I work to create a trusting relationship with my clients by being genuine, warm and honest. I focus on building trusting relationships to help my clients find the change they want. Though I understand that change can be difficult, change is a process that enriches lives and decrease suffering in the long term. 

I have particular interests in helping people with:

  • Adjustment to life events

  • Anxiety

  • Body image and eating issues

  • OCD

  • Psychotic-spectrum disorders

  • Relationships

  • Trauma and PTSD

  • More broadly, helping all my clients to find meaning and purpose in their lives.

I happily work with people of any culture, race, gender, sex, or body type and I do not assume to understand anyone’s particular situation. Instead, I seek to understand my individual clients and their context as best I can.

I also work with individuals who wish to explore any drug-related experiences and non-ordinary states of consciousness.  This can be useful for both positive and negative drug-related experiences. Please note this is not psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

I enjoy working as an accredited, board-approved psychology supervisor and also facilitate an ACT peer supervision group. Outside of work I am a dad, partner, camper, nature-lover, cyclist, gardener, backyard barista and baker.

  • Member of the Australian Clinical Psychology Association

  • Association for Contextual Behavioral Sciences (international) member

  • Australia and New Zealand ACBS member
