I’m a warm, down-to-earth Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW) and Play Therapist who supports children, young people, and families to make sense of big emotions, strengthen relationships, and build confidence through creative and relational approaches.
With over 16 years of experience in child and adolescent mental health, I work with families navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, autism, and emotional regulation challenges. My approach is grounded in safety, connection, and curiosity—helping children express themselves in ways that feel natural and empowering.
Child and adolescent mental health (0–18 years)
Autism, ADHD, and neurodivergence (neuro-affirming care)
Emotional regulation and anxiety
Trauma, attachment, and family stress
Parenting support and psychoeducation
School avoidance and transitions
Families value a safe, non-judgmental space where their child can express themselves through play, creativity, and relationship — and where parents feel supported, not blamed.
