Philosophy & Vision
I am passionate about working with children. Their insights, understanding, and ability to adapt to an adult-centric world never cease to amaze me. There is so much to learn from children. I understand that children are part of a community. Their experiences take place within the context of a network of relationships. I work collaboratively with parents, caregivers, school personnel, and other professionals.
Background
I have a deep experience working with families from a range of cultural backgrounds and I'm committed to working in a culturally sensitive way.
Services
I embrace inclusion and diversity regarding ethnicity, lifestyle choice, faith, sexual orientation and gender identity, with a commitment to creating a safe environment for all people.
My hope is to help kids move towards growth and healing. I want to help them find their voice so those who love them most may understand them better and discover new ways to support them.
Quality Provision
I am a member of the Australian Social Workers Association and I abide by their professional code of ethics in all my work. I have received Advanced Clinical Training in Play Therapy through Play Therapy Australia. I ensure that my practice is current and effective by having regular supervision.
