Since 2008, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people reconnect with their inner strength and rediscover the parts of themselves that have been silenced by trauma, stress, or self-doubt. My practice is built on the belief that healing isn’t about fixing what’s “broken,” but rather coming home to the wholeness that’s already within you.

Over the past sixteen years, I’ve worked across community mental-health and private practice settings with children, adolescents, and adults. My therapeutic approach blends evidence-based methods with a deep respect for the mind–body–spirit connection that underpins lasting change.

I’m a Level 2 Internal Family Systems (IFS) trained practitioner, integrating IFS with Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and other trauma-informed modalities. Through this work, I help clients build compassionate relationships with their inner world—learning to listen to, rather than battle against, the parts that have been trying to keep them safe.

I hold a Doctor of Psychology (Clinical) from James Cook University, and an undergraduate degree from Griffith University. I’m a fully registered and clinically endorsed psychologist with the Psychology Board of Australia, a Fellow of the APS College of Clinical Psychologists, and an advocate for accessible, high-quality care across rural and regional Queensland.

At Empowerment Psychology, therapy is more than talking—it’s a space to slow down, reconnect, and remember who you are beneath the layers of survival. It’s where evidence-based science meets grounded spirituality, and where your healing journey becomes a return to your true Self.
