I’m an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and Art Psychotherapist with a special interest in developmental and family mental health. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families who are experiencing the effects of grief, loss, trauma, parenting stress, and emotional or behavioural difficulties. I’ve worked for many years in government roles as a developmental social worker, providing biosychosocial assessments and family therapy to families navigating developmental assessments and new diagnoses. This impact may be affecting function at school, at work and at home, on relationships within both the immediate and extended family, and on skills like parenting, emotional control, social interaction skills and learning. Over the years, I’ve supported clients across diverse settings in both Australia and overseas, and have extensive experience providing individual and family therapy.

I have an extensive experience in providing individual and family therapy.  The children and families that I see often express frustration, sadness, or confusion.  They might even experience a sense of losing hope for the future because they feel they have tried everything to create change but nothing seem to make a difference. Identifying these difficulties can be the first step on the journey towards change.

I truly believe in providing a therapeutic non-judgmental and safe space where you, your child and/or the whole family can be heard and we can acknowledge and address the things that are difficult in everyday life. I have a passion for supporting children, adolescents, and families to be the best they can be, to create meaning and build mutual understanding and to set goals that are realistic and achievable.

I work from a warm, relational, and creative approach that combines talk therapy and art-based methods to help people explore experiences that can sometimes feel too complex for words. My focus is always on creating a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals and families can be heard, understood, and supported to make meaningful change. I’m passionate about helping people build insight, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with their inner resilience.
