I am credentialed in Australia with 14 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, & trauma and abuse. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
I focus on cognition, interpersonal awareness, emotional processing, and strengths to empower healthy life choices and changes. I have vast experiences in working for government and non-government services, providing clinical and psychological intervention. A key aspect of my intervention involves mindfulness, “the element of being aware of oneself”.
Additionally, I have extensive experience providing treatment within a vast scope of areas, these include addictions, adolescences, trauma informed care and recovery, families and relationships, psychiatric mental health, disabilities, men’s behaviour, and domestic and family violence. I utilise evidence-based treatments, cognitive behaviour therapy, trauma informed care & strength-based therapy to focus on and gain insight into individual growth. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
Outside of career pursuits, l enjoy recreational sports, travel, music, meditation, and family life.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
