Every person's journey is unique, and I like to understand the background and goals of the people I support to ensure together we create a personalised therapy plan tailored to them. I work with adults, and adolescents and I have a strong interest in supporting people navigating anxiety, grief and loss, PTSD, developmental trauma, CTPSD 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, Open Arms and Private Health. I am strongly experienced in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) amongst other therapy modalities.
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 and comfortable space. We will work together to explore what is happening for you and around you. Together, we will find strategies for addressing the current situation to help you move towards your goals.
