I believe that sleep is a key part of our daily functioning and overall wellbeing. I am passionate about helping people of all ages improve their sleep. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Depending on client’s need, therapy might involve:

• Helping people identify and treat factors that lead to poor sleep so that they can feel confident to manage their sleep in the long term
• Developing good sleep habits
• Reducing worry about sleep
• Helping people to manage a busy mind at night
• Working to improve daytime energy and function
• Using bright light therapy to improve energy and treat circadian rhythm (body clock) disruptions
• Helping to kids and parents with night-time fears and bedtime routines

I completed my undergraduate training at the University of Western Australia, where the focus of my honours research was the relationship between cognitive functioning and obstructive sleep apnoea. I also completed a Masters of Applied Psychology in Clinical Psychology at Murdoch University.
