About
I'm an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker. I bring to this role over 20 years of experience working with children, youth and families. I am experienced in a number of modalities including DBT, CBT and ACT. I operate from a trauma informed and person centered framework.
I am passionate about supporting people to move towards positive change, foster healthy coping skills and heal in a safe and supportive space. Most importantly, I value your feedback..you are uniquely you, and I will partner with you to provide professional and individualised care.
When I'm not in the clinic you'll find me indulging my passion for podcasts, chasing great coffee or embracing the beauty of nature with my family and our two dogs. I'm unashamedly a book nerd who loves attending workshops and training to continuously expand my skills.
