About Me
I am a Clinical Mental Health Social Worker with a background in working with adults, teens, children and families.
I take a holistic approach to coaching and therapy that takes into account the link between body, mind and environment. I work from the foundation of establishing a therapeutic relationship with you that is respectful, kind and collaborative. I will work with you to set goals for therapy that align with your values and the outcomes that you are seeking. My focus is on providing you with practical strategies and tools which fit your particular circumstances.
I am often inspired in my work through witnessing how addressing current challenges within ourselves and our relationships, can lead to healing and growth beyond our experiences of adversity and trauma.
In my practice I utilise my training in a number of therapeutic approaches such as DBT, ACT, narrative therapy and the Gottman Method of relationship therapy. I also draw from the specific training I have completed in working with trauma which has included training with the Australian Childhood Foundation, Bessel Van Der Kolk, Dan Siegel and Kent Hoffman.
I can work with individuals, couples and families. I also see children over 6 years of age.
I have Masters level training in supervision and have worked in roles consulting with schools and other organisations such as the Australian Centre for Social Innovation.
