My Background

I'm Isabella, a clinical psychologist with a genuine passion for supporting people through some of life's most significant and tender chapters. I am especially passionate about supporting new and expectant parents, including mums, dads and non-binary parents, throughout the perinatal period.

The perinatal period, from conception through the first year of parenthood, is one of the most transformative experiences a person can go through. It can be joyful, disorienting, exhausting, and everything in between. I work with individuals and families experiencing low mood, anxiety, birth trauma, perinatal loss, and the identity shifts that come with becoming a parent.

I also have a growing practice offering psychological and educational assessments for school-aged children across Melbourne and Shepparton. These assessments help families, educators, and support services better understand how a child thinks, learns, and experiences the world.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and warm, grounded in evidence, and always shaped by curiosity about each person's unique story. I draw on a range of evidence-based modalities, including CBT, DBT, ACT, and attachment-informed frameworks, and adapt my approach to what fits best for you.

I have experience working across public hospitals, private practice, and community mental health settings, and I currently work with the Maternal Infant and Wellbeing Melbourne (MIW,) in Parkville both in person and via telehealth.
