In addition to my clinical work, I have contributed to research in the area of culturally responsive mental health care. My co-authored systematic review, “Cultural interventions that target mental health and wellbeing for First Nations Australians”, was published in the Australian Psychologist (Summerton & Blunden, 2022). This work reflects my ongoing commitment to culturally sensitive practice and to integrating research evidence into the care I provide.
I am registered with AHPRA, a member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS), and a Medicare provider. I am also a STAP board-approved supervisor, and I value supporting the development of other practitioners alongside my clinical work.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel like a significant step. My aim is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely heard. I take a warm, collaborative approach, working alongside you to build insight, develop practical strategies, and support meaningful, lasting change.

Clinical Psychologist
I am a Clinical Psychologist with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and several years of experience supporting individuals across a range of settings, including private practice, community mental health, and schools.
I have worked with adults, adolescents and children presenting with a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and complex or high-risk presentations. My experience also includes working with families, as well as individuals from culturally diverse and minority backgrounds. This has shaped my ability to adapt therapy to each person’s unique context, needs, and strengths.
My work is grounded in evidence-based therapies including:
I draw flexibly from these approaches to tailor therapy to your individual goals and preferences.
I am committed to providing care that is culturally sensitive and trauma-informed.
