I am a clinical psychologist with over 20 years’ experience in healthcare & particular interests in women’s health, medical psychology, & trauma. I work with adults who are carrying a lot on their shoulders – whether that’s a serious health issue, a life-altering event, a relationship breakdown, or the strain of trying to hold everything together for everyone else.
I support people dealing with significant health concerns – either their own or a loved one’s – & the emotional toll that comes with it. I understand the particular challenges for mid-life women navigating complex health issues & the profound impact these can have.
I also work with people to recover after traumatic events. I am an accredited provider, trainer, & supervisor in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a science-backed treatment for PTSD. I have worked people overcoming childhood abuse, traumatic events, vicarious trauma, & those who are exposed to traumatic experiences in their work lives (first responders, healthcare professionals).
I see my clients as equal partners in therapy & am committed to helping them understand what they are going through, move forward after challenging life experiences, & build a practical toolkit they can use in day-to-day life.
