About me
I work with people to overcome challenges, whether personal, relational or systemic. I am experienced in working with survivors of trauma, people living with complex mental illness and people struggling with everyday life issues. I bring a person-centred and trauma-informed lens to the therapeutic space and draw from a range of techniques, applying modalities best suited to each individual. My primary therapeutic influences are Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Reality Therapy. Each therapy session is tailored to address client goals developed collaboratively through a strengths-based process. I aim to support people to realise their potential for creating a rich and fulfilling life. I look forward to working with you on this amazing journey called Life.
Please note that I work out of Queensland and people based in WA, SA and the NT may have trouble finding suitable times that align with their schedule.
