Meet Roanna

Roanna is a warm and engaging Clinical Psychologist, who aspires to help individuals develop insight and change the patterns underlying their difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours. She combines psychological research and evidence-based practice with an individualised approach, with a keen awareness that all individuals are influenced by their unique upbringing, social, and cultural context.

She has extensive experience working across the lifespan in NSW hospital and private practice settings. Roanna has gained accreditation in the assessment of ADHD and ASD (ADOS-2).
