Sara is a fully Registered Psychologist and Clinical Psychology Registrar with the Australian Health Practitioner Agency (AHPRA). Her qualifications and training include:
- Master of Psychology (Clinical)
- Bachelor of Psychology (Honours)
- Bachelor of Criminology & Psychology

Sara has experience in both clinical and community mental health settings, providing therapy and assessment to individuals across the lifespan. Her clinical experience includes supporting people with anxiety, depression, adjustment difficulties, bipolar disorder, agoraphobia, schizophrenia, personality disorders, OCD, ADHD, autism, complex PTSD (CPTSD), substance use, grief, and relationship issues.
Areas of Interest
Sara is particularly interested in working with people who are navigating emotionally complex experiences, periods of overwhelm, or times of transition. Her clinical interests include:
- Anxiety and panic
- Depression and low mood
- Trauma, relational trauma, and complex PTSD
- Grief and loss
- Identity changes and life transitions
- Emotion regulation and high emotional sensitivity
- ADHD, autism, and neurodivergence
- Borderline and other personality traits
- Burnout and chronic stress
- Substance use and recovery
- Family conflict and relationship difficulties
- The psychological transition to motherhood (matrescence) and the postpartum period
Before entering clinical training, Sara spent over a decade working across a range of sectors including mental health, disability, justice, and alcohol and other drugs. This broad background has shaped her understanding of how social systems, trauma histories, and daily pressures intersect with emotional wellbeing — and informs the way she connects with clients.
Sara’s research has explored the experiences of women who become mothers after early maternal loss, as well as the transition to motherhood for migrant women in Australia.
As a mother of three, she understands firsthand the profound shifts this life stage can bring.
Therapeutic Style
Sara’s therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity. She works with clients to understand their inner emotional world, the patterns that shape their relationships and behaviours, and the underlying needs that may be getting overlooked or unmet.
Her practice is primarily informed by psychodynamic and relational frameworks, supporting deeper insight and long-term emotional change.
Depending on what’s most helpful for each individual, she also integrates evidence-based strategies from:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
- Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR)
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Schema Therapy
- Motivational Interviewing
- Family systems approaches
