Biography

I am a Psychiatrist and am currently subspecialising in the Child & Adolescent Psychiatry field. My areas of interest are child, adolescent and family issues such as autism, hyperactivity and inattention, sensory processing issues, oppositional behaviour, learning difficulties, stress, anxiety, and depression, as well attachment-focused parenting. I advocate for early assessment and intervention with the focus on empowering parents and clients. I am an eclectic practitioner and utilise Cognitive Behavioural and Mindfulness approaches. I have level 1 experience in Interpersonal Psychotherapy (Prof Xavier Pereira, Msia), Drama and Neuro-dramatic Play Therapy (Prof Sue Jennings, UK) and Play Therapy (PT Aust). I am also trained to administer the the ADOS-2 (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-2) assessment in UCSF (University of California, San Francisco) Star Center, US, which is considered a gold standard assessment tool for autism across the ages of 12 months through adulthood. I have been invited to give lectures in private universities, colleges and the corporate sector. I have also been invited as an expert panelist in forums, local television, and radio talk shows as part of mental health awareness initiatives. I have also presented a few papers at local and international conferences.
