My Story
My journey from the construction industry to becoming a psychologist specialising in family law matters was a profound shift from building structures to rebuilding lives. While my previous career focused on concrete foundations and architectural plans, I discovered a deeper calling to understand the human psyche, particularly within the fracturing foundations of family systems. This passion led me to pursue formal qualifications in psychology, where I now apply my innate problem-solving skills and resilience to a new context, helping individuals and families navigate the emotionally complex terrain of separation, divorce, and child custody with empathy and evidence-based support.
