Every person's journey is unique, and I like to understand the background and goals of the people I support to ensure we create a personalised plan for them. I am very experienced in supporting adults, and adolescents and I have a strong interest in supporting people navigating anxiety, grief and loss, PTSD, developmental trauma, and the myriad of life's challenges. My approach is twofold: I believe in equipping you with immediate tools to cope with present concerns, while also delving into the roots of these issues – be it past events, deep-seated beliefs, or coping mechanisms – to pave the way for a brighter future.
As an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, I see people privately, through Medicare, WorkCover, and Private Health. I am experienced in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
I appreciate how difficult it can be to reach out for support. I want the people I work alongside to know I offer a confidential, safe, warm and comfortable space. Together, we will work to explore what is happening for you and strategies for addressing the current situation and moving towards your goals.
