I've been a registered psychologist for 25 years, the last 15 of which working with kids and adolescents in schools around Geelong and Ocean Grove (as part of student support services) and in private practice.

​

While working in schools I became interested in why some students struggled to learn to read and write. Often these students were average or above average problem-solvers, but they had particular weaknesses that made learning difficult. Identifying these barriers was key to helping them improve as learners.

​

I am also endorsed as a counselling psychologist, and my other passion is helping young people overcome the grip of anxiety and depression and thus be more at ease and in touch with their true selves.

On a personal note, I love surfing, I have a partner and three teenage boys, a dog called Taco and a cat named Panda.
