Nice to see you here
I’m a psychologist with over 25 years of experience supporting women who feel overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out and caught in habits that no longer feel good. I work with women who are experiencing health issues such as chronic fatigue, autoimmune disorders, oncology and post-natal depression. With postgraduate training in both health and clinical psychology, I work from a strong understanding of how the mind and body shape each other — especially under stress.
I use evidence-based therapies, including CBT and ACT, but my approach is always warm, practical and tailored to what you can manage right now. Much of my work has focused on addiction and habit change, and I have a particular interest in helping women reduce alcohol use, rethink their relationship with technology and make compassionate changes around eating.
As a woman in midlife myself, I’m comfortable supporting clients who are navigating identity shifts, ageing, and the deeper questions that surface during major life transitions.
meet jymbi
Jymbi and I have worked together for the past ten years. We completed our initial therapy dog training and certification with Lead the Way in Victoria and since then have had all sorts of training experiences, adventures and therapeutic collaborations. Jymbi loves greeting people, walking them in and sitting up on the couch with them. Over time he gets to know people and is delighted to welcome back ‘his’ regulars. Jymbi turns eleven in October 2025 and is choosing to stay home some days and come to work other days – semi-retired!! Check with me to see if he is attending on your scheduled appointment day.
