Change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end.

Change is not always easy, but remaining stuck in patterns that prevent you from reaching your goals is harder in the longer term.

I am a social worker, counsellor and somatic based trauma informed yoga teacher and a registered member of the Australian Association of Social Workers.

I am genuine and provide a supportive, empathetic and collaborative approach to assist clients with skills, strategies and education to improve their mental health and day to day life. I work from a person centred and trauma informed perspective.

I love working collaboratively with clients, driven by your goals and aspirations, I will assist in working towards attaining achievable goals with you.

I have experience in working with people across all life stages, particularly adults experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and personality disorders.

I am deeply passionate about my role and consider it a privilege to work with people to journey towards change
