Hello, I'm a Registered Psychologist and Clinical Psychology Registrar. I have a particular interests in sleep difficulties in adults. My clients typically have difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep, including early morning awakenings. I have completed certified training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), which is the first line evidence based treatment for insomnia and gets to the root of what is maintaining our sleep issues. CBT-I involves tracking our sleep patterns, adjusting our sleep behaviours to optimise sleep efficiency and strategies for managing an active mind, amongst others.
Treatment of co-occurring anxiety/depression is also available and involves evidence-based strategies for addressing negative thought patterns and behavioural approaches for improving mood and anxiety, getting us back into the activities that are meaningful for us in everyday life. My approach is warm, down-to-earth and collaborative.
I have worked in public, private and university settings with a range of presentations including anxiety and depression, relationship issues, emotion dysregulation and adjustment issues, amongst others.
Insomnia is a condition eligible for a Mental Health Care Plan through Medicare in Australia.
I work across the Helensvale Homeworld and Nerang psychology clinics. I can also offer Telehealth.
