Experience
Elise is a Clinical Psychologist with over ten years’ experience supporting the mental health and well-being of children and adolescents. She has worked across education, private practice, and the non-government sector, providing psychological assessment, therapy, and consultation to young people and their families. Elise is skilled in psychometric assessment for developmental, learning, and behavioural concerns and has experience supporting children with mental health challenges and neurodevelopmental differences and their families to promote inclusion and positive outcomes.
Her practice is trauma-informed, neuro-affirming, and evidence-based, drawing on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and play-based approaches. Elise’s interests include developmental psychology, attachment and trauma informed practice and play-based therapies.
Outside of work, she values movement, time in nature, and playing with her young daughter.
Elise works at our Mount Gravatt East clinic on fortnightly Saturdays.
