Social Worker AMHSW, Psychotherapist
Ashgrove, Brisbane QLD 4060
In Person + Online Therapy
Philosophy & Vision
My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing on relational therapy, nervous system–informed practices, and evidence-based modalities such as EMDR. I pay close attention to how past experiences are held in both the mind and body, and how this shapes patterns of stress, connection, and self-protection.
I aim to offer a calm, attuned space where we can slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and support greater safety and regulation. Our work is collaborative and paced, helping you reconnect with yourself and move forward in ways that feel grounded and sustainable to you.
Background
I have been privileged to work alongside people who are victims or survivors of crime, supporting them through the impacts of trauma, grief, and loss. This work has included supporting people affected by domestic and family violence, sexual assault (including historical), and the death of a loved one. Prior to this, I worked in mental health settings in social work and therapeutic roles, supporting people experiencing mental health conditions. I also have experience in NGOs assisting vulnerable clients, including those at risk of homelessness, living with mental health conditions, or managing disabilities.

Therapy Approach
I provide trauma-informed, integrative therapy, combining relational approaches with nervous system–informed practices and EMDR. I focus on helping clients process difficult experiences, regulate their nervous system, and build resilience in a collaborative, paced way. Therapy is tailored to each person’s needs — for some this may involve talk therapy, for others creative or somatic approaches, exploring sensory preferences, movement, or learning new skills. Together, we find what works best to support your healing and growth.
