Kristie is a Clinical Psychologist who is passionate about helping families and children. She has a Bachelor of Arts (Psychology and Criminology), Postgraduate Diploma of Psychology and a Masters of Clinical Psychology.
Kristie commenced her career supporting children and adults with complex presentations such as Schizophrenia, Borderline Personality Disorder, Anorexia and people within the juvenile justice system. She soon realised that supporting young people and their families was her niche and has since gone on to work in the private and education sectors helping children, adolescents and families with concerns relating to schooling, separation, self-esteem, parenting, social skills, anger, non-compliance, trauma, gender dysphoria, grief and loss, and self-harm.
Kristie is very experienced in neurodevelopmental assessment and assesses premature babies right through to adolescents; assessing for a variety of learning and language disorders, memory problems, intellectual disability, dyslexia, and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Kristie has also lectured at the University of Newcastle for several years and has published papers in the areas of anxiety, depression, and developmental disorders. More recently, Kristie has undertaken training in two international models: dyadic developmental psychotherapy and the neurosequential model of therapeutics; models specifically targeted towards young people. Kristie understands that each family is unique and is willing to walk alongside families to help them achieve their desired outcomes.
