I hold a Bachelor of Counselling from Griffith University and am passionate about guiding individuals toward healthier relationships with themselves and others. Using a client-centred approach and a blend of therapeutic modalities such as ACT, CFT, SFBT, CBT-E, and MI, I tailor my support to each unique journey. Fluent in both English and Spanish, I am committed to providing inclusive and accessible care for all clients. My 30-year career in hairdressing revealed my passion for understanding and supporting others, which led me to pursue counselling. Transitioning to a support worker role, I gained invaluable experience with complex mental health clients, developing psychological flexibility and effective communication skills. At Goodna Street Life, I expanded my expertise in alcohol and drug counselling, embracing opportunities to contribute to the community. My background in assertiveness and cross-cultural communication has equipped me to navigate diverse cultural norms and foster positive relationships. My clinical interests include trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, domestic violence, alcohol and other drugs (AOD), self-worth and self-esteem, eating disorders, women’s issues, men’s health, relationship difficulties, mood disorders, personality disorders, and NDIS counselling. I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where individuals feel safe to share their deepest concerns.
