I’m an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker/Therapist with over 30 years of clinical experience delivering trauma-informed, evidence-based care. With Master’s degrees in Social Work and Global Health, I offer an integrative approach tailored to individuals facing trauma, loss, and life transitions. I specialise in supporting first responders and those impacted by displacement or intergenerational adversity, creating a safe, culturally sensitive space for healing. My practice is grounded in clinical rigour, compassion, and systemic insight—empowering clients to restore dignity, resilience, and a renewed sense of self.
I provide trauma-informed care grounded in safety, trust, and collaboration. With over 30 years’ experience, I integrate EMDR, CBT, ACT, and attachment-based approaches to support healing, resilience, and restoration for those impacted by complex and intergenerational trauma.
You are not alone. Together, we will move at a pace that honours your readiness. Therapy is a shared journey — grounded in honesty, guided by hope, and oriented always toward healing. If this speaks to you, I invite you to reach out when you feel ready. Your story matters, and support is here.

I integrate CBT and EMDR to support clients in processing distressing experiences and shifting unhelpful thought patterns. In our first session, we'll explore what brings you to therapy and tailor an approach to your needs. CBT targets how thoughts impact emotions and behaviour, while EMDR facilitates trauma processing and resilience.
