About me

Jess is a warm and non-judgmental clinician who focuses on understanding your unique concerns and goals within their context, before collaboratively developing a treatment plan. Drawing from evidence-based approaches including Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), self-compassion, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and mindfulness, Jess tailors therapy to your specific needs.

Jess has expertise in treating diverse mental health challenges including mood concerns, anxiety and stress, trauma responses, and relationship difficulties. She works to create a responsive and affirming space where all aspects of identity—including cultural identity, neurodiversity, gender, disability, and sexuality—are respected and understood. Jess facilitates opportunities for greater understanding, growth, and connection to a life aligned with your values.

Jess is a registered clinical psychologist (AHPRA: PSY0002253450).
