Philosophy & Vision
(Pronouns: they/them)
My approach works towards creating safe, curious environments where we can learn together and uncover new perspectives. I am passionate about the ways that self-exploration can help us to solve problems and access our agency.
As I work with the Internal Family Systems (IFS) modality, I recognise that we are all multifaceted. This is a trauma-informed approach which believes that each part of us has unique gifts to share, and deserves to be cared for.
Background
I am a Level 1 certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) practitioner, brainspotting practitioner and accredited social worker. Prior to entering the social work profession, I spent almost a decade in arts and cultural community development. I have found that incorporating creativity into the therapeutic space can help us connect to our bodies, our environments, and our inner landscape.
I have been privileged to work alongside a large spectrum of people with all kinds of experiences that affect how they approach work and relationships. In particular, I have a deep understanding of how neurodivergence, mental health struggles and trauma show up in spaces where we work and play together.
Services
I work online via Zoom and I take clients from across Australia.

Therapy Approach
My approach is non-pathologising, trauma-informed and brings the systems that we interface with into the room. I love to work with clients with all kinds of lived experience. In particular, I enjoy working with young people who are facing new kinds of emerging problems. I understand that, right now, things can feel quite unstable and overwhelming. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent community, I also appreciate the unique celebrations and struggles that come with these experiences and identities. You will find me affirming in all of the ways our internal systems process and cope with the world.
