"It is hard to worry when you are focused only on the present moment. Worry is typically always about the future, and occasionally about the past. It is nearly impossible to be anxious or worried when your mind is in the here and now."

FUN FACTS

MY FAVOURITE COLOUR

My favourite colour is green and brings to mind images about trees, bush walking, and rainforests. These images are refreshing and relaxing. Green brings me to think about my favourite tree, the ‘palm tree’, which reminds us to be open, and flexible to changes throughout life.

WHY I’M IN THIS LINE OF WORK

I chose clinical psychology to help others live and work better. My direct focus on Selective Mutism in my clinical practice is tremendously rewarding, it brings me great joy to hear my clients’ brave voices and to see them achieve therapy goals.

ONE THING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT ME
