About Michelle

 For me, it has been a privilege to treat adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse, as well as other kinds of childhood trauma, abuse and neglect, for over 35 years. I have been in private practice in Bondi Junction for 28 years and can offer stable, long-term treatment. I specialise in treating Complex Trauma and Dissociative Disorders, including Dissociative Identity Disorder.

I approach my work with optimism, enthusiasm and empathy. I know the importance of being believed and finding a therapist that feels right for you. I work collaborativley; educating you and helping you understand the path to recovery, whilst ensuring you always feel safe and are never re-traumatized.

There have been dramatic advances in the understanding and treatment of trauma and dissociation in the past 20 years.  I ensure that my practice evolves so that I can offer new evidence-based treatments that are more effective and efficient.  I am a member of The International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD) and the EMDR Association of Australia (EMDRAA).

 In addition to working with clients, I have  been extensively involved in the training of Clincial  Psychologists.  I lectured at Macquarie University for many years and now, for several years, I have been lecturing at Western Sydney University.  Over the years, I have been a clinical supervisor for many psychology teams in the public health system and psychologists in private practice.
