Overview

I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW), with four years of clinical experience in the Mental Health, Drug & Alcohol and Disability field. My professional journey includes working in both public and private sectors, supporting young people, adults, and families through community mental health services (clinical outpatient settings), early intervention programs, alcohol and other drug services, and within the NDIS sector. I have experience assisting clients with challenges such as depression, stress, anxiety, psychosis, addiction problems, LGBTIQA+ minority stress-related issues, relationship difficulties, and deficits around motivation, self-esteem, and self-confidence.
