About me

My practice
In 2008, I began my career as a counsellor in Brisbane, Queensland in the areas of substance abuse, mental health, and dual diagnosis with individuals of diverse backgrounds.  During my stay in California from 2010 to 2012, I thrived in positions as a therapist in a private practice setting, youth substance abuse and anger management counsellor, and mental health therapist and case manager in a medical setting for those diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. As a long-standing registered Clinical counsellor and psychotherapist with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA), I have had had the pleasure of teaching and mentoring tertiary students in the Counselling field as an Academic Educator while working contractually with a well-regarded Australian EAP program as their Senior Practitioner and Facilitator training allied health professionals nationwide.
​
Given the eclectic clientele and agencies I have had the privilege of working with over the years, I have extensive experience and knowledge ranging from, but not limited to, grief and loss, abuse and trauma, conflict resolution, and family systems, whilst applying integrated approaches encompassed by a humanistic, person-centered framework. 
​
My passion lies with those processes by which individuals seek to better their situations and develop a personal sense of life satisfaction. I believe that compassion, non-judgment, and acceptance serve as the foundation for the therapeutic relationship, and that this is essential for effective change to take place both within, and outside, the context of therapy. Often, people find that things get worse before they get better. My aim is to honour that process as we work towards your goals in a collaborative manner.
