I have been working in Allied Health for approximately 16 years providing assessment, education and counselling to adults and children. A variety of issues are commonly addressed including:
I am a registered provider of Psychology Services with Medicare, Private Health Funds TAC and Workcover.
I began my career as a scientist having completed an Honours Degree in Biological Sciences followed by a Doctorate of Philosophy in Immunology at Monash University in 1986. I have worked in research and development in a number of positions including roles with the Victorian State Government and with a biotechnology company, working on industry and medical research projects.
