I hold a Master's degree in Counselling and a Bachelor's Honours degree in Psychological Science. I am accredited with the Australian Counselling Association. 

Originally, I am from Sydney, and when I initially moved to North Queensland it was to work as a dive instructor in the coral sea and the local reef system. I am a sister, a daughter, and a mother. I have experienced heavy things, and so have many of the people I have met. On my journey, I have overcome many challenges.

​

I am an empathetic person who values connection and compassion when engaging in meaningful counselling work. I believe curiosity, acceptance, adaptation, openness, patience, and being present are necessary skills that I apply to my counselling practice. 

I have gained academic and practical experience in behavioural and cognitive psychology, learning about the human mind and behaviour as a Behaviour Practitioner, a mother, a friend, a family member, and as a Counsellor.  This led me to explore the role of our nervous system in regulating ourselves when we are in states of dysregulation, through somatic and polyvagal theories. 

​

I have 5 years of experience in practising with women, men and young people. I also have specialised skills in domestic and family violence, person-centred counselling, promoting wellbeing, experience with addictions, attachment needs, parenting support, grief, Reiki and mentoring.
