Clinical Psychologist | AHPRA Registered | Educator

Hi, I’m Samantha — a Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s emotional challenges with compassion, clarity, and depth.

I completed my Bachelor of Science in Psychology at George Mason University (USA), followed by a Bachelor of Health Science (Honours) and a Master of Psychology (Clinical) at Bond University (Australia). I’m fully registered with AHPRA and endorsed to provide psychological services under Medicare.

My approach is grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy, with additional training in CBT, ACT, DBT, EFT, ISTDP, and mindfulness-based strategies. This allows me to tailor therapy to the unique needs of each individual, with an emphasis on emotional safety and long-term change.

A core part of my work is helping clients explore and understand their attachment patterns — the early relational templates that often shape how we respond to stress, relationships, and self-worth in adult life. By bringing awareness to these in-grained predictive models, we can begin to shift long-standing patterns that no longer serve us, creating space for more clarity, calm, and meaningful connection.

I’ve supported clients in both individual and group therapy settings, including PTSD and DBT programs in hospital environments. I also serve as a Board-Approved Supervisor, mentoring Provisional Psychologists and Clinical Registrars on their journey toward registration.

I work with clients aged 16 and over, offering a therapeutic space that is warm, non-judgmental, and tailored to your story. Together, we’ll work toward building emotional insight, developing regulation skills, and creating lasting change that supports a more grounded and fulfilling life.
