he/him

I am a Senior Clinical Psychologist and Board-Approved Supervisor registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). I have worked in the public mental health sector for several years, supporting individuals with complex and enduring mental health difficulties. I currently divide my time between private practice and Epworth HealthCare.

I’m deeply committed to the work I do and I’m guided by values of compassion, thoughtfulness, curiosity, and authenticity. I see the world through a multicultural lens and strive to create a safe, inclusive space in therapy where people feel heard and accepted.

I’m dedicated to ongoing professional development and regularly engage in clinical supervision to ensure ethical, reflective, and evidence-based practice.

I am proud to welcome and support members of the LGBTQI+ community.
