About me

As a clinical psychologist I have focused on working with clients who have experienced and are living with complex neurodevelopmental injuries and disorders. As a rehabilitation and health psychologist I have worked with children, teen and adults and their families; and from acute care through to long-term community rehabilitation. My passion is in understanding the interaction of body system, neurological and psychological phenomena and the lived experience of people with neurological injuries; and providing compassionate care and advocacy for clients who often face multiple forms of disadvantage and prejudice. At Murdoch University I am involved in postgraduate training and clinical supervision, with a focus of clinical practice in complex health conditions.
