Your Trusted Clinical Psychologist in Brisbane
As a dedicated clinical psychologist and psychoanalytic therapist, I have spent over 15 years cultivating expertise in psychological assessment, therapy, and clinical supervision. My practice in Brisbane integrates evidence-based approaches with a deep understanding of unconscious processes that shape human behaviour. I hold a Doctor of Clinical Psychology from Queensland University of Technology and maintain active registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency. My clinical work spans both public and private sectors, including roles at Queensland Health facilities and academic institutions. I specialise in long-term psychoanalytic therapy for complex emotional difficulties while also providing Medicare-covered brief interventions.Beyond direct client care, I contribute to professional development through clinical supervision accredited by the Psychology Board of Australia and teaching roles at postgraduate psychology programs. My heritage-listed practice at Ballow Chambers offers purpose-built therapy spaces designed to foster therapeutic comfort and confidentiality. I remain actively engaged in research initiatives, including projects focused on multicultural therapy relationships and early Alzheimer's screening measures. This combination of clinical experience, academic contribution, and ongoing professional development informs my commitment to delivering comprehensive mental health services tailored to individual needs.
