I have always enjoyed working with people and began my career as a volunteer within community services. I completed my Diploma in Community Studies which lead me on the path to gain more knowledge in how to work with all members of the community.
After completing my Diploma in 2001, I then enrolled in the Bachelor of Health Science, majoring in Disability Studies in and have continued my work in community services for almost 20 years.
During my career I have worked within many community service areas and organisations ranging from aged care, mental health, disability, and youth. I received my Graduate Diploma in Therapeutic Arts Practice in 2018 before successfully completing a Masters in Therapeutic Arts Practice in Majoring in Education and Mental Health in 2019.
I am a registered practitioner with ANZACATA with a full professional membership. I am also a registered as an NDIS provider.
My extensive work experience and training, along with my passion for working collaboratively with others allows me to provide meaningful therapeutic interventions that assist everyone to reach their personal and therapeutic goals.
I feel that my experiences while working within these varied community sectors has given me insight and a better understanding of the benefits and application of therapeutic interventions.
Mental health is an area that I am deeply passionate about as I feel that it is present within each of the community sectors I have worked in . I currently volunteer as a therapist within disability/mental health and aged care sectors to assist in bridging the gaps in services . I believe that providing therapeutic interventions and the ability to bring community members a sense of connection, an understanding of self and their relationships is paramount to recovery.
Working as a therapist, I have found that communication is universal through art. Art allows all people to express themselves in a way that is meaningful and brings a sense of validation to their experiences. Creative art therapy provides a platform for all individuals to feel seen and heard without judgement.
