As an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker registered with Medicare I bring over 18 years experience in mental health and trauma for adults and children. I have worked with people struggling with many challenges and experiences.

I am a qualified social worker (Ba Social Work 1st class honours at RMIT) with a Graduate Certificate in Experiential Creative Arts Practice and a Masters of Art Therapy from MIECAT Institute. I am also a member of the Australian Association of Social Workers and hold a Working With Children Check.

I draw upon all of these learned skills and couple them with my own skills in connecting and communicating. To therapeutic sessions I bring warmth, creativity, openness and patience. Together we will explore your experiences past, present and hopes for the future. We can identify barriers, challenges and/or traumas and find healing, meaning and joy in life.

In therapy I work with children, young people and adults from many different backgrounds and cultures who are wanting to work on a range of concerns and challenges that include (but are not limited to):

• Anxiety, Depression and Suicidal Thoughts

• Self esteem

• Mental Illness

• Grief and Loss

• Once-off and on going exposure to violence

• Sleep disturbances

• School refusal

• Behavioural concerns

• Bullying

• Eating Disorders

• LGBTIQ

• Life Stressors (School, friends, family etc.)

• Adapting to family and relationship changes (Divorce, New siblings, Moving etc.)
