I have over two decades of experience working in mental health nursing, counselling, and professional supervision. My approach is trauma-informed, integrative, and relational—guided by the belief that healing is not a one-size-fits-all process, but a deeply personal journey shaped by story, nervous system, and connection.
My formal education includes a Master of Human Services Counselling, a Postgraduate Certificate in Health Sciences (Mental Health Nursing), and a Bachelor of Nursing. I also hold a Certificate in Advanced Training in Professional Supervision, a Bachelor of Alcohol and Drug Studies, and postgraduate training in the Assessment of Addiction and Co-existing Disorders.
Alongside my academic background, I’ve pursued additional training in a number of therapeutic modalities including trauma informed modalities, EMDR, Sensorimotor Art Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Hakomi, Narrative Therapy, Relapse Prevention, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. Each approach allows me to respond to the physiological and psychological dimensions of trauma with presence, attunement, and care.
I am a Clinical Member of PACFA, a Registered Nurse, and a member of both the Australian College of Mental Health Nurses (ACMHN) and the Australia & New Zealand EMDR Association (AMDRAA). I’m also a certified Soul Card Facilitator, integrating creative, intuitive practices like SoulCollage® into my work to support clients in accessing their inner wisdom.
I provide trauma-informed counselling in Perth across public and private sectors—from inpatient psychiatric settings to addiction recovery and one-on-one therapy.My intention in all settings is to hold space for what is complex, tender, and transformative.
