About the Therapist

About the therapist:

I have experience working with a broad range of folks, from neurodivergent young people to elderly people with dementia. I am currently facilitating Creative Workshops at part of Switchboard’s LGBTQIA+ Suicide Bereavement Program. I have facilitated Arts Psychotherapy workshops for trans and non-binary folk and people with other marginalised genders outside of the Anglocentric gender binary through Your Community Health and young women, non-binary people, and trans people of any gender at Amplified Victoria (AKA Girls Rock) as well as for staff members at DFFH (Department of Families, Fairness and Housing). Now I work with clients through the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme), the DFFH and Private Practice. Before this, I was a group facilitator and offered helpline support for Family Drug Help at SHARC (Self Help Addiction Resource Centre). I also have worked as a disability support worker. My background also includes over 10 years working in Graphic Design and as a result, I am passionate about incorporating digital technologies into therapeutic spaces and include them in my practice.

Experience and approach:

I have received the Graduate Diploma in Therapeutic Arts Practice from the MIECAT Institute and the Bachelor of Arts Psychotherapy from the IKON Institute. I facilitate in a multi-modality capacity, offering other art expressions such as narrative, music, drama and dance. I have memberships with Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA), ACA (Australian Counselling Association), TPATH (Transgender Professional Association for Transgender Health) and AusPATH (Australian Professional Association for Transgender Health). I have also done Professional Development Training in a range of Psychotherapy Modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), IFS (Internal Family Systems Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) and Rhythms and Regulation with Dr Cathy Malchiodi. I regard these methods with caution, as they have the potential to be employed for the purpose of oppressing and manipulating people, particularly people from marginalised lived experiences and communities who were not involved in developing or evaluating these methods. I frequently advise those I work with to selectively adopt the techniques that are beneficial to them and modify those methods to better validate their lived experiences.
