Adjunct Senior Lecturer

M.Psych. (Clinical) (NUS), B.Soc.Sci.(Hons.) (NUS)

I am a Clinical Psychologist registered with the Singapore Register of Psychologists (SRP) and member of the Singapore Psychological Society (SPS). While I am currently in private practice at Annabelle Psychology, I have previously served in various clinical and community settings such as KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH), the Down Syndrome Association (DSA), the MINDEF Defence Psychology Department, and was previously the Head of MINDS Ang Mo Kio Training and Development Centre (ATDC). I specialise in neurodevelopmental and psychological diagnostic assessments, such as for autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, specific learning disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and other mental health conditions. I also provide psychotherapy using cognitive behaviour therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, schema therapy, positive behaviour support, active support, and positive parenting.

My primary research interests are in neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, as well as parenting and child development. My other interests include neuropsychological assessment and therapy programmes for children with special needs.
