Psychologist

Shae is a registered psychologist with over 14 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families across a range of mental health difficulties including neurodevelopmental disorders, depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma-related disorders, and eating disorders.

Shae has a special interest in disordered eating, body image, self-esteem and positive identity development. Shae is invested in understanding each client’s unique story and does this by creating a safe space and building a strong therapeutic relationship based on empathy and respect.
