I entered the field of mental health after going through my own experiences a number of years ago. This created a passion to begin assisting others as I found it difficult to find and connect with professionals who didn’t get nor attempted to take the time to listen to and understand my story.
This led me to doing a formal Masters Degree in Counselling and Applied Psychotherapy and pursuing a career to help others who were also struggling, aiming to improve others lives who are affected by trauma, grief, loss and more. Due to a lack of services in NSW and regional Australia I have a passion for remote and isolated communities, due to the many barriers they face.
Since then I have worked and specialized with teenagers and adults for close to 10 years who have experienced various forms of trauma and personality issues, aiming to improve their quality of life and get them back to a healthy and happy place that I have also been able to get to. I also have experience assisting those with chronic pain, disability and mental health issues. This includes complex mental health such as psychosis and suicide.
