An Accredited Mental Health Australian Social Worker with extensive experience in counselling and generalised social work. My clinical approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and strengths-based. I am empathic, warm, full of fortitude, and capable of great gentleness. I enjoy my work and treasure therapeutic relationships and the opportunity to work with clients facing life challenges.

When people talk to me in therapy, they respond to the way that I make them feel safe in communicating about difficult, at times, life-changing issues. Whether it be around trauma, abuse, neglect, gender inequality or violence, or interpersonal conflicts impacting one’s mental health, I am passionate about supporting clients to make positive changes in their lives, restore their relationships and achieve their goals and aspirations. I consider myself an eager learner who builds on her academic foundations in psychology, social work, and business strategies. I stay in tune with the latest research in these fields and professional development to ensure the best practices for the clients.

I utilise Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR is one of the best therapeutic approaches used to assist people with PTSD and phobias), Schema Therapy, Gottman Therapy (relationship counselling), Flash technique (FT), and have experience in mental health education diagnosis and assessment. Additionally, I can assist and provide information related to National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), My Age Care (MAC), Aged Care Assessment team (ACAT), Public Trustee and other relevant services, including Centrelink.

I am proudly maintaining my professional accreditation by attending clinical supervision sessions, professional development workshops, and training. My goal is to be a part of the movement where mental health is as important as other aspects of our wellbeing.
