sOCIAL WORK

I am an ACT-based clinical social worker with 14 years’ experience across child protection, hospital-based social work, and grief and bereavement. I bring strong skills in case management, care coordination, psychosocial support, and risk management with safety planning. Drawing on roles at Canberra Hospital, Child Protection, and school counselling, I offer compassionate, evidence-informed support to children, young people, families, and individuals, guided by the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) Code of Ethics and local legislation. Services are available in person or via telehealth, with a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and collaborative approach.
