​

I am a registered clinical counsellor, family therapist and clinical supervisor in private practice. I also do sessional lecturing at Christian Heritage College in the areas of Family Therapy and Trauma. I have previously worked in residential care with both the Banyans Wellness Centre and the Salvation Army. ​

​

Growing up with a father in the army, I travelled a lot as a child and attended 13 different schools, so relate well to people from different cultures but I was also happy to put down roots in sunny Qld over 30 years ago and now we travel for fun.

 

My husband and I are now empty nesters and are enjoying this new season of our lives, especially spending time with all of our beautiful grandchildren. We also have a gorgeous golden cocker spaniel called Macey who is thoroughly spoiled and have recently trained our lovely black cocker spaniel puppy Koda to be a therapy dog so he can be available in sessions for those who would like him to be.

I love quality time with family and friends and spending time in nature: whether it’s walking through the surf at the beach or going for a rainforest walk or a bike ride along the waterfront at Redcliffe. I also love reading and continuing to learn and grow.

​

I am passionate about living life to the full in an authentic way and helping others to do the same so love journeying with others so they can be empowered to grow into the person they want to be and become all they were created to be.
