About me

I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working in health, community and human services fields. This includes working in disability, youth justice, child protection and mental health.
My clinical interests are working with young people in out of home care, trauma, perinatal mental health and gentle parenting.

My experience

I began working in mental health in supported youth residential mental health programs in 2005. Since 2011 I have been working in public child and youth mental health clinical services. I have held clinical, senior clinical, leadership, and chief social worker roles in the clinical public mental health system. I am also experienced in teaching and training and have taught in the Bachelor of Community Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drugs course.
Alongside paid employment, I provide voluntary services as an admin/moderator with Little Sparklers and The Beyond Sleep Training Project. I was previously on the Australian Association of Social Workers, Victorian branch management committee from 2020-2022.

My current role/work

I am currently working in a clinical educator role in a CYMHS service. In addition to my public health role I also work part time in private practice.

My training

In addition to my social work degree, I have a Master of Mental Health Science and Certificate IV in Alcohol and Other Drugs. I have also done additional training in Interpersonal Psychotherapy and EMDR.

My approach to supervision

I view clinical supervision as a supportive process in which social workers and helping professionals can talk about the work they are doing. I encourage sharing reflections from experiences encountered as this fosters learning and skill development. Supervision provides an opportunity to share your work and get an objective opinion, thoughts and ideas about the challenges, dilemmas and struggles experienced in the work.
My approach to supervision is to assist the supervisee to deeply reflect on the work and what it brings up for them. It is a process to assist linking theory with practice and draw together all elements of social work practice.

​

We offer both individual supervision and group supervision. In supervision, we provide a space to explore:

Linking theory to practice

Casework and talking about challenging situations

The impact of the work on you personally

Professional ethical questions, moral dilemmas and any other issues arising in practice

Coping with organisational change

Team dynamics and difficulties within teams

Leadership, managing change and fostering high performing teams
