My background includes:

• Childcare and early childhood support

• Family work and child protection

• Domestic and family violence (DFV)

• Homelessness support

• Family preservation and restoration

• Mental health and substance use work (my current focus)

  
  

In the coming weeks, I’ll also be stepping into work around sexual harm and safety, continuing to build on my passion for supporting vulnerable people with empathy, respect, and a trauma‑informed approach.

I’m looking forward to learning, collaborating, and growing alongside you all.

I started my career in the NSW Police Force, and over time my passion shifted towards supporting people in a more therapeutic and person-centred way. That journey led me into counselling, education, and community work, where I found my purpose in helping people feel heard, supported, and empowered.

Through Link Foundation AOD, I work closely with individuals, families, Community Corrections, courts, and support services to create real pathways for recovery and lasting change. I’m also a lecturer and mentor, and I love supporting students and future counsellors as they grow in the field.

I live in the Blue Mountains with my family and care deeply about strong communities, meaningful connection, and making sure people know they never have to face their struggles alone.
