I have been working working in the community sector in Greater Brisbane area in various roles since 2005 whilst completing a Bachelors degree and two Masters degrees. Clearly I believe in the power of education and making informed decisions :)
In the past I have worked as a case worker, case manager, counsellor and psychological therapist. I have facilitated art therapy groups for a variety of cohorts including culturally and linguistically diverse clients. I have worked with vulnerable families, individuals escaping domestic violence, people seeking asylum in Australia, unemployed with mental health barriers, and for the Northern territory government in child and youth mental health. I use arts therapies modalities successfully with people with mental illness, people without official diagnosis and individuals on the Autism spectrum.

Art therapy is a great way to start processing what is in one's mind, and how to find ways to change or get better. Art is a great way to regulate emotions, find relaxation and deal with difficult feeling that are hard to talk about.
