Dr Sharlene is a practicing Clinical Psychologist of 10 years, completing her Doctorate at La Trobe University in 2014. She has worked extensively in public psychiatry in major metropolitan services across Melbourne with a focus in Emergency Psychiatry. In more recent years Dr Sharlene has migrated into her own run private practice and sees clients from various backgrounds utilising a Schema Therapy framework.

However in 2022, whilst pregnant with her second child, Dr Sharlene took the leap of faith and moved her family to Sydney and pursue a Medical Doctorate (MD) and the University of Notre Dame. This experience, entwined with motherhood, continues to be personally transformative and has set Dr Sharlene on a new path to help other health professionals pursue their deepest calling, and to live the life of their dreams.
