I am credentialed in Australia as a psychotherapy and counselling federation of Australia (PACFA) clinical psychotherapist coming from multi-disciplinary areas including theology, criminology, psychology, and family law, with over 12 years of professional work experience. I am also an accredited family dispute resolution practitioner (FDRP) with Attorney General's Office in Australia. I provide therapy of individuals, families and couples, and family mediation to couples, families, and post-separated families. I have experience in working therapeutically and spiritually integrative, helping clients coming from multiple walks of life, including culturally, religiously, spiritually, and linguistically diverse background. I have intensively and extensively worked with clients facing a spectrum of mental health issues, including but not limited to, identity crisis, depression, anxiety, complex trauma, PTSD, attachment, personality disorders, and relationship issues. I am passionate working with couples, families, children and young people. I work with my clients to create an open, trusted and safe environment where thoughts, emotions, feelings, and sensations can be shared without fear of judgment and/or biased. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy session can take lot of courage and wisdom. I am proud of you for getting started!
