About me

I have worked in the field for the past 25 years and love what I do. 

I use an Integrative Therapeutic approach that encompasses the client’s cultural values, personal/spiritual beliefs and characteristics. This form of therapy closely aligns with the Diverse Cultural Framework used at Nesian Point.

As an accredited Mental Health clinician, I work part-time in the Emergency Department in Mental Health providing assessments to those presenting with Mental Health issues.

As an Intermediary for the Department of Justice and Attorney General (DJAG), I work on a casual basis identifying and describing the communication needs of young people who are victims of sexual assault and assisting the process in the courtroom.
