What services do you offer at Scope?
I provide services for children and adolescents, including:
Therapy to manage:
- Anxiety, depression and other mood disorders
- Challenges associated with ADHD, Autism, and other neurodevelopmental conditions
- Difficulties at school and home
- Navigating family changes, friendship challenges and school transitions.
Who would benefit from seeing you?
I mostly work with children and adolescents who are struggling with anxiety, depression, attentional challenges and difficulties at school and home. Many of the young people I work with are also navigating family changes, friendship challenges and school transitions.
What has your psychology journey looked like?
I’ve studied a Graduate Diploma in Psychology, a Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours) and I’m in my final year of the Master of Psychology (Clinical). I have experience as a crisis supporter, employment services psychologist and working with young people in both community and school settings. Alongside my university studies, I’ve undertaken extensive Play Therapy training and love being able to incorporate that with my younger clients.
What values underpin your approach?
Each client is the expert in their own life. This principle guides every interaction I have, regardless of age. I provide my clients with a safe space where they feel comfortable to just be themselves, and I meet them wherever that may be. My goal is to support them to build confidence in their capacity to create meaningful change - I’m here to help them find the right tools to make that happen.
What do you find rewarding about being a psychologist?
I love how unique each client is, and find it incredibly rewarding to be able to support them on their journey.
Why do you like working at Scope?
Scope provides a beautifully supportive space for both clients and therapists. The team here are highly skilled and passionate about their work. I feel privileged to be part of this team.
What are some of your personal interests?
Outside of work I love spending time with my family, running, reading and enjoying the outdoors.
