About Vittoria
I am a registered Psychologist who values building a strong therapeutic alliance with individuals and families as they explore their challenges, aspirations and relationships. My goal is to provide an affirming and trauma-informed approach to assessment and intervention. I believe that assessment is one part of understanding how we learn and navigate the world. This understanding can help explain areas of strength or difficulty and help us make decisions about future development and support. I enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals, the CALD community, and students (university and vocational).
I completed the Bachelor of Psychology (Honours 1st Class) at Charles Sturt University and the Master of Professional Psychology at Macquarie University. I hold Diplomas in Training and Assessment, Learning Design and Development, and Business Administration.
My extensive work experience has been teaching in vocational colleges face-to-face and online. This has provided me with unique insights into how assessment and intervention can support us through the challenges of learning and life. I am train and proficient in administering cognitive, Autism, and ADHD assessments. I also have two adult children who have navigated very different pathways through school, TAFE and university. When I am not working, I enjoy watching K-Dramas, learning new languages, trying new foods and spending time with my family and pets.
