Qualifications

I'm a registered psychologist offering support for adults and adolescents across Australia. I'm a natural helper who believes real change is possible with the right tools and reflection. I bring a warm, intuitive, and structured approach to sessions, helping you make sense of where you are and find a clear path forward. I am a fluent Spanish speaker with lived experience of migration, and I welcome clients from all cultural backgrounds. I hold a Master of Professional Psychology from Charles Sturt University. I have published research in the _Internal Medicine Journal_ on women's experiences with endometriosis treatment in Australia.; I have significant experience working with young people in my local practice and offering online sessions for adults and adolescents across Australia. I'm a generalist at heart, and especially passionate about women's health, chronic illness, career burnout, anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and self-esteem. I draw on CBT, ACT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, and person-centred counselling, with experience in advocacy and risk management.
