About Me
Get to Know Me
Ever since I was young, I've had an interest in what makes people tick and I knew I wanted to get into a career path that would make a difference in people’s lives. I have varied experience in academic settings, the public and private sector. This experience has given me a broad perspective of the individual across the lifespan. I spent many years working with adolescents with severe, complex, and persistent mental health problems. I have presented my work at national conferences and have also been a guest lecturer at The University of Queensland. I've spent a number of years working in a large reputable group practice where I had the privilege of working with adults from different walks of life with a variety of different problems. I have specialised training and experience in the area of parenting skills, trauma, eating disorders, self harming behaviours, substance abuse, depression and anxiety disorders.
I really enjoy working with people and strive to develop a therapeutic alliance in order to utilise evidence based cognitive-behavioural and mindful treatment strategies to maximise client outcomes.
During the year that was 2020, I decided that it was time to fulfil my long held dream of running my own practice.
Welcome. I'm so glad that you're here.
Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul be just another human soul.
