ABOUT ME….

I’m a proud mother of two adult children and grandmother to one delightful little one. When I’m not working with clients, I can be found pounding the pavement on a run, restoring old furniture into something beautiful, or spending time with my dogs. However, my life did not always look like this.

My journey into social work was born from my own lived experience of trauma and the meaningful process of rebuilding myself. At 30, I reinvented my career, returning to university as a mature student to complete a Bachelor of Social Sciences (majoring in Community Development, Government & Policy) and a Master of Social Work. Before and since earning qualifications, I have worked in drug and alcohol, with individuals and families living with severe and persistent mental health, homeless youth, people living with Dementia and asylum seekers. Those experiences, combined with my own healing journey, inspired me to dedicate my life to supporting people to heal, grow, and thrive.

I bring a holistic approach to my therapy practice, informed by my professional background, my ongoing professional development, my personal journey and my absolute belief in the power of healing. Whether it’s helping someone find clarity, process trauma or rediscover their strength, I’m committed to working with you to find the best way forward for you.

Outside of work, I seek balance by disconnecting from the rush of daily life. I’ve hiked the Camino de Santiago—a life-changing 800-kilometre trek through France and Spain—and I regularly retreat to nature to recharge through running and hiking. These moments of stillness and reconnection fuel my work and remind me of the importance of staying grounded.

At Nourished Bodies and Minds, I’m here to help you navigate your journey with understanding, empathy, and care. Whether you’re rebuilding, rediscovering, or just finding your way, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
