Progress Monitoring
We believe that your investment in therapy should lead to a measurable outcome. We have been mentored by the key leaders in the use of outcome measurement as part of therapy and continue to consider this a key characteristic of our treatment approach.
Unless you opt out, a brief symptom measure will need to be completed before every session to enable us to track your progress. The link to this survey will be sent via email the day prior to your scheduled appointment.
We will discuss the results of this outcomes survey, and together you can decide if therapy should continue as is, or if a change is needed.
We are serious about partnership, and are genuinely interested in working with you to make sure you get the best therapy experience and outcome.
We use the DASS10-PM which is an empirically validated tool designed for monitoring progress in treatment.

Getting to know each other
Meeting someone for the time can be really hard so my aim in our first few sessions is to give both of us an opportunity to get to know each other, for it is just as important for you to get to know me as it is for me to get to know you. I see our time together as a gift and myself as a resource for you. I value authenticity and honesty, so feedback on what helps and does not help you feel safe in this space is really important. Once we get an idea of what might be going on for you, we can make a plan together toward a goal. My hope is to journey with you for as long as you need in your path to healing, growth and beyond. I deliberately keep my caseload small to ensure I can commit to doing the best I can for every client whom I know and matter to me.
Likewise, over the past 20 years of clinical practice I've been so blessed to be learning from some of the best in the field helping me to develop my skills as a professional, leader and therapist. I have also learnt that supervision is essential to being able to sustain working in fields with high demands. As such, I have a passion for supporting others in their leadership, professional and clinical roles. I feel incredibly privileged to be able to work with and support my colleagues' development to becoming the best version of themselves. I have experience supervising psychologists across the developmental stages from first internships to supervision of supervision and senior colleagues wanting to hone particular skills. I also have experience providing supervision for colleagues from other disciplines helping with debriefing and processing their experiences. I work from a deliberative reflective practice model and see supervision as a resource to meet your developmental needs. My hope is to journey with you to becoming not just a sound technically excellent clinician but also for you to be able to bring the best version of yourself to work, whether it be the therapy room or office, to be there for your staff and clients.
I look forward to working with you.
