Welcome
I specialise in the unique psychological challenges faced by service members, veterans, first responders, and their families. My understanding goes beyond my professional training as a psychologist — I’ve lived this life. I’m a former police officer, and the spouse of a serving ADF member. I founded Frontline Psych Services because people who serve deserve support from someone who understands what it means to serve — not from a textbook, but from inside their world.
I started my career in policing, working in operational frontline duties and a specialist investigation unit. I worked the shifts, attended critical incidents, and experienced the cumulative weight of confronting dangerous situations and dealing with others raw emotions. I’ve also lived the other side of it as the spouse of a serving ADF member: the deployments and continuous training cycles, the unknowns, the resilience it asks of a family.
When I moved into psychology, I trained as a clinical and forensic psychologist, working as a community corrections officer, a prison psychologist and a police psychologist. I kept the perspective the uniform gave me – a steadfast and practical approach, grounded in directness with a good dose of dark humour.
My personal experience and specialised clinical training enables me to provide support that’s grounded in both evidence and understanding. Whether your managing operational stress, working through trauma, or navigating life after service, my goals is to help you find a way forwards that’s practical and lasting.
