About Me

Training & Therapeutic Approaches

I have lived in Melbourne since arriving in Australia, from South America in 1975. Now married with five grown up children, I earned a Bachelor of Behavioural Sciences Degree with Highest Class Honours from La Trobe University. Post-Graduation,I completed a two year Clinical Internship at the Cairnmillar institute.

I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness Training (MT). Since 2004, I have also been researching the application of POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY IN CLINICAL PRACTICE. In addition, I specialise in Marital Therapy and Family Therapy, with postgraduate certification in both fields. Finally throughout my career I have applied knowledge from the wisdom traditions via the practice of TRANSPERSONAL PSYCHOLOGY. I have obtained a Diploma of Transpersonal Psychology and a Diploma in CLINICAL HYPNOSIS.

Practitioner Journey & Experience

I’m fortunate to have an absolute passion for the practice of clinical psychology. The study of the human experience, including experiences that transcend the personal self, is a source of great joy to me.I have studied the human mind-body connection since my youth and watching people’s lives change and transform has always inspired me. To my clinical practice I bring over 25 years’ experience as well as training in multiple facets of psychology, RELATIONSHIP COUNSELLING, family therapy, consciousness studies and philosophy.
