Heya! I am an accredited  mental health social worker and EMDR Consultant with 15 years experience offering healing centred therapy and supports for people navigating a range of situations including drug and alcohol use, homelessness, trauma, family violence, attachment wounding, abuse trauma and other presentations.

As an EMDR Practitioner and consultant, I have been using this incredible modality in conjunction with other somatic therapies, such as trauma sensitive yoga, to facilitate healing for the people I work with. My passion lies in supporting neurodivergent folks, LGBTIQIAP+ people, humans of the global majority [Indigenous, Black and folks of colour], and people experiencing complex trauma, ongoing trauma, dissociative experiences, and systemic violence

I have done a range of advanced trainings in EMDR and I offer Attachment Informed and Relational Integrative EMDR which are specialised EMDR frameworks that support you to work with all the parts of yourself that have been impacted by trauma and wounding.
