About me:
I have worked as a psychologist for more than thirteen years, helping adults and adolescents in a range of different settings including university, mental health, and as a psychologist in high-performance sport.
Whilst completing my doctorate, I worked with both recreational and elite athletes to help them boost their sporting performance. I am skilled at using high-performance psychological strategies and motivational strategies to help athletes perform at their best.
I previously worked at Monash University Counselling Services for nine years helping staff and students optimise their academic, psychological and emotional well being, and for several years in psychiatric rehabilitation services.
