I am dedicated to serving the community through supporting individuals navigating a variety of mental health and wellbeing concerns. I prioritises client centred approaches to meet the needs of individuals with various presentations including trauma, dissociation and different personality profiles. With a comprehensive background across community, forensic, and clinical settings, a unique blend of expertise and empathy is brought to practice. Through the use of evidence-based interventions and trauma-informed care, I offer compassionate support where individuals are encouraged to heal from past experiences and regain their power.
I work at understanding and navigating the nuances of personality differences in psychological presentations, where the narrative of each client is approached with a deep respect for their unique identity and experiences, tailoring interventions to honour their individual strengths and challenges.
I approach cultural diversity with a deep respect and academic curiosity where I aim to instil values of cultural competence and social responsibility in future practitioners. Aside from clinical practice, I am encouraged by empowering practitioners in the field of mental health to grow their potential, as an AHPRA board approved supervisor.
