I am a certified mental health social worker registered with the Australian Association of Social Workers.

For the past 15 years, I have been actively engaged in the field as a specialized trauma-informed domestic and family violence women's therapist and women's group facilitator on the Gold Coast.

Throughout my career, I have accumulated extensive experience in advocacy, social justice and therapeutic practices, including crisis telephone support, young women's sexual assault and experiences of homelessness, youth work with young women and girls in out-of-home residential and foster care, working with women experiencing domestic and family violence, as well as with women who have been incarcerated and have experienced domestic and family violence.

Moreover, I have had the privilege of supervising and mentoring various groups of professionals, ranging from property managers, health workers, teachers, child safety workers, disability support workers, aged care workers and business managers.

In addition to my practical experience, I have also provided professional supervision to social workers and social work students, leveraging my qualifications as an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker.

My approach to therapeutic support includes social justice, trauma-informed, non-judgemental, women-centred understanding that supports women to take back control over their own lives.

As a certified Level 3 Trauma Informed Stabilisation Therapy (TIST) practitioner completed under the professional guidance of Janina Fisher, I offer this unique and proven method of working with many trauma-inducing experiences, including post-traumatic stress responses, complex trauma, complex post-traumatic stress, shock trauma, betrayal, trauma bonds, grief and relational trauma.

I support women to understand how their experiences profoundly shape their lives. I also support women in finding their power and strength by walking beside them on the journey to self-fulfilment and providing knowledge, tools, and resources to determine what is best for them.

If you are looking for a practitioner who has lived and healed experience in the many aspects and traumas of life, listens deeply to what you have to say, is completely honouring of and holds and hears your story of pain, and has a holistic view of healing and recovery, I may be the therapist for you.

Please feel free to phone me to discuss any queries regarding my practice and how it fits your needs.
