Hi there! I'm a country girl at heart, living most of my life in Far West NSW and regional Victoria, and now WA. These foundational years have been valuable to my own psychological development and eventual career in the field. I've had exposure to diverse populations, presentations and contexts. My clientele ranges from police, FIFO folk in the mining industry, healthcare professionals and defense personnel across the ADF. I've provided outreach to Aboriginal communities, mine sites and farmers. I work primarily with adults (18+) however will accept younger clients if specifically referred for eating disorder treatment by their GP.
I am most experienced in PTSD, Complex-PTSD and trauma related issues, anxiety and depression, eating disorders and OCD, panic and psychosomatics. I've delivered psychoeducational seminars to the public, held small group anxiety and resilience workshops, and provided Critical Incident Stress Response Debriefing to vulnerable communities after trauma.
Abnormal reactions to abnormal experiences, like trauma, are normal. Every feeling, thought and behaviour makes sense within the context of the experience and I believe every person deserves a safe, judgement free space to unpack, process and make sense of those experiences. If it's impacting you, it matters.
