ABOUT ME
Since graduating in 1998, I have worked in a number of positions mostly as a trauma counsellor for the Department of Health working with victims of sexual assault and domestic violence in the Lower Hunter, Blacktown and Northern Illawarra areas. I have also worked as a generalist counsellor in Community Health and worked as a foster care support worker with Centacare.
My practice is from a Trauma-Informed stance which is sensitive to trauma related issues. It is strengths-based and recognises that symptoms are adaptive rather than pathological. It emphasises physical and emotional safety and creates opportunities for survivors to rebuild a sense of control and empowerment in their lives.
I have been living in the Illawarra for 20 yrs with my husband and two children, I enjoy the outdoors and being creative.
If you would like further information you are more than welcome to contact me directly.
