I acknowledge Australians First Nations peoples, the traditional custodians of Australia's lands, waterways and skies. I recognise the impact of colonisation on social and emotional well-being and the resilience, strength and pride of first nations communities.

I have over 20 years of experience in public and private mental health services, Alcohol and other Drug therapy and family work.   

I hold a Bachelor of Social Work, Graduate Certificate in Alcohol and other Drug work, Master of Leadership and Management (systems psychodynamic) and have completed further professional development as an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker.   This means I am recognised as a psychological therapist who can practice under the Better Access scheme through medicare.

I have participated in comprehensive training and practice in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Behavioural Family Therapy, Single Session Family Consult, Interpersonal Psychotherapy and Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
