I’m an experienced clinical psychologist and family therapist. I’ve worked in private practice and the public and private health systems here in Sydney and in London with the most recent position in Sydney as the WLSHD Eating Disorder Coordinator (NSW Health).
I provide assessment and evidence-based treatment for eating disorders and issues associated with body image. I also focus on child and adolescent mental health as well as anxiety, depression, chronic pain and complex trauma in children, adolescents and adults.
