Psychologist Coolangatta

Welcome!
About Me & My Approach
I'm a registered psychologist based at beautiful Kirra Beach, practicing since 1999. I’m passionate about supporting adults and older adolescents to overcome life’s challenges and build lasting resilience. Watching clients grow and thrive is deeply rewarding.
​
My Background
​With over 25 years of experience across public and private settings, I hold a degree in Behavioral and Educational Psychology from Monash University.
My primary approach is AST (Affect State Therapy), a gentle yet powerful method that helps people process stuck emotions, shift unhelpful patterns, and heal from past experiences. AST draws on attachment theory, memory reconsolidation, and current brain science. I’ve completed five years of AST training with ongoing supervision. I also have 12 years of advanced training in ISTDP and am trained in EMDR, ACT, and CBT.
Therapeutic Style​
I offer a warm, empathetic, and tailored approach—creating a safe space to explore emotional patterns, resolve core issues, and support meaningful, lasting change.​
