I have worked in the human services sector for over 25 years primarily in youth and family support programs. I specialise in expressive and experiential counselling approaches to work creatively with individuals and their relationships to find solutions to personal challenges. I currently work as a Family Counsellor supporting families impacted by a loved ones problematic substance use. I am also part of an emerging organisation on the Sunshine Coast seeking to provide early intervention support to work effectively with men engaged in domestic and family violence and consequently provide a safer community for women and children.
