My clinical background includes experience working with trauma, managing critical risk issues, and developing safety plans and risk assessments for clients ranging from their teenage years to adulthood.
I am particularly passionate about providing support for individuals navigating trauma, critical risk concerns, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and grief. My approach is centred around empathy, compassion, and a commitment to empowering clients across the lifespan to gain new perspectives and insights.
I work with a person-centred and holistic approach, embracing a range of therapeutic modalities including Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT), Attachment-Based Therapy (ABT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
My goal is to offer non-judgmental, culturally sensitive support, helping clients better understand themselves while fostering healing and growth.
I work with people with disabilities including neurodiversity as well as those with trauma, anxiety, mood or interpersonal issues. Referrals with NDIS funding or privately paying referrals are accepted. $156.16
