Trauma Support Providers

Professional Biography

I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, practising in Toowoomba. I have worked in the area of trauma for 35 years in the following fields; refugee survivors of torture and trauma, persons who have experienced domestic and family violence, males and females who have experienced sexual abuse and sexual assault, and military combat veterans. I have provided consulting services to LivingWell, the Qld state service for males who have experienced sexual assault and I also worked for many years for QPASTT (Qld Program of Assistance to Survivors of Torture and Trauma). I currently work in private practice in Toowoomba, working with people referred through Mental Health Care Plans (I am a Medicare provider) from the GPs, and also with clients referred through Open Arms (formerly Veterans & Veterans Families Counselling Services). As a Mental Health Social Worker I am comfortable working with individuals and also with couples and families, and I am able to work with both the individual psychological and emotional effects of trauma as well as locating the effects with the family and social systems.
