Trauma Support Providers

Professional Biography

I am a Credentialed Mental Health Nurse with the Australian College of Mental Health Nursing (ACMHN). As a registered nurse (General and Mental Health) I have worked in several different specialist areas including mental health, peri-natal mental health, forensic mental health, emergency mental health, inpatient mental health, and community mental health managing long and short-term case management of clients. This prior clinical experience has given me exposure to several different types of clients including men and women, couples, families, young people and older adults, as well as experience working with the gay, lesbian and transgender population. I also have experience working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, people with disabilities, care leavers, sexual assault victims, and perpetrators of child abuse. This has given me the ability to work with different types of trauma clients including incest clients, people with parenting issues, domestic and family violence concerns, addiction issues, dissociation including DID, cults and ritual abuse, sexual intimacy issues, and providing court support to victims and their family/friends, as well as clients affected by past forced adoption or assault in care.

I have experience working as a trauma-specific specialist and utilising several different therapy modality techniques which include: mindfulness, Trauma informed therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialetical Behaviour Therapy(DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Psychotherapy, as well as Cuddle Therapy. I am currently in the process of also adding Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) as well as Music Psychotherapy - using Music and Imagery & GIM Training.
