Hello, I’m Christian, a registered psychologist with a decade of experience working with individuals with trauma related diagnoses and substance use dependency. I work with all individuals across the lifespan, supporting those with mental health diagnoses stemming from complex and acute trauma.

I am trained in multiple evidence-based modalities including, Schemas therapy, Emotion Focused therapy, Dialectical Behavioural therapy, Interpersonal therapy, and Eye Movement Desenstisation and Reprocessing. I approach treatment from a biopsychosocial perspective, understanding that there are multiple factors to consider when working with a person who is trying to implement change for the betterment of their wellbeing.

My therapeutic approach is always trauma informed. I understand that significant psychological injury can make it hard to confront the difficulties of life. I believe that everyone experiences the same problems. The difference between people is the opportunities presented through life in how they have been taught to confront difficulty, and their self-perception in relation to said adversity.

If you are looking for a therapist who is direct and compassionate, who uses a little pinch of dark humour when discussing the absurdity of life, then I’m your guy.
