Magnolia House

I strongly believe that the development of an understanding of oneself on an emotional level is vital to improving psychological wellbeing. As such I enjoy working with clients to help them to build personal awareness and to develop strategies that will aid in resolving issues that adversely impact on the enjoyment of their lives. I feel that one of my key strengths as a psychologist is being able to connect with people, and building rapport with my clients is my number one priority.

I have been in private practice for the past 12 years. My recent interests led me to complete a Graduation Certificate in Wellness Studies. I will help you work on a range of issues from living with physical and mental health issues, anxiety, depression, eating disorders and weight management, chronic health and disease including Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, fertility and pregnancy issues. I also assist organisations to focus on staff wellbeing.

I work with adults, adolescents, children, couples and families. With more than twenty years experience, I have an extensive range of skills in many areas, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, anger, sleep, workplace conflict and parenting. I have experience in core psychological therapies (such as CBT, ACT, mindfulness) as well as in creative approaches such as play therapy. I look forward to helping you achieve the lasting positive change you are seeking.

My training in family therapy provides the framework in which I work with individuals, couples and families on issues of relationships and mental health. In my twenty years of practice I have worked in Brisbane, Stanthorpe, The Lockyer Valley and Toowoomba in a range of settings. I have particular interest and skills in working with adolescents, blended families, separated fathers, anger management, depression and anxiety. Medicare and private health rebates may be available for my services, and I offer after-hours appointment times for your convenience.
