Summary

I am a highly motivated and dedicated clinical psychology student with a strong foundation in working with diverse populations across the lifespan. I'm currently in the final year of the Clinical Psychology Master's program at USQ and have had extensive experience in various clinical placements. I've had experience in providing psychotherapy interventions tailored to individuals experiencing anxiety, depression and other mental health related issues.

I am proficient in conducting comprehensive cognitive assessments and adept at working with neurodivergent populations, including individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and specific learning disorders. I am skilled in developing personalised treatment plans that address the unique needs and strengths of each client, fostering a supportive and inclusive therapeutic environment.
