Dominique is a Clinical Psychologist and researcher working in public health in WA.

I am an early career psychologist currently completing my clinical registrar program. After completing my clinical masters I went into government, and currently work in adult community and inpatient forensic services in Tasmania. I enjoy a cross section of psychology and looking at things with different lenses, with a particular current interest exploring the intersection between clinical and forensic psychology. While working towards my clinical endorsement I have been taking learning opportunities in the forensic space, especially around risk assessment, formulation of violence, and clinical treatment for reducing offending and relapse prevention. I have a chunky ‘to do list’ of modalities I am looking forward to learning more about, and love to keep my ears and eyes open for a good learning opportunity. I have been in a few different roles within the APS and the Clinical College, which has enabled me to give a voice to the interests and different needs of students and early career clinical psychologists.
