About Jess
I am a Clinical Psychologist and Psychodynamic Psychotherapist based in Melbourne. I have experience across a range of settings including private practice, private hospitals, alcohol and drug services, domestic violence and sexual assault services, child and family services and university clinics. I am experienced in working with the following presentations:
Anxiety (feelings of overwhelm, adjustment to life transitions, health or work stressors, panic attacks, worry about a range of issues)
Depression (low mood, feelings of emptiness or hopelessness, lack of pleasure or purpose in life, suicidal thoughts, sleeping difficulties)
Relationship issues (social anxiety, conflict or disconnection in romantic and family relationships, separations and divorce, parenting issues, sexual issues, social isolation)
Traumatic experiences (grief and loss, domestic violence, sexual abuse, childhood abuse, intergenerational trauma, vicarious trauma, near death experiences)
Alcohol and drug use (harmful substance use, substance dependence)
Eating issues (restrictive eating, binge eating, body image issues)
My aim as a therapist is to provide a supportive therapeutic relationship that fosters curiosity and care for one’s life. Compassion, hope and an understanding of the challenges of being human guide my practice.
