Welcome to The Bloom Project! A practice with the aim to help you become your own healer and empower you to be the driving agent of change. As an experienced mental health clinician with Master’s degrees in Occupational Therapy and Clinical Family Therapy, I have worked with children, adolescents and adults across the lifespan in private and public settings across mental health. My professional career has focused on the treatment of eating disorders, grief and loss, systemic family and couples work. My experience extends to senior clinical, leadership, and education roles in specialist services across Victoria including, St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne, Austin Health and the Royal Children’s Hospital.
I have a Bachelor of Arts in Dance from the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) and promote movement, creativity and occupational balance as essential for recovery. My background in performing arts and sports has made me passionate and experienced working with clients in these fields and working with somatic practices.
I am committed to continual self-enquiry and self-development and use my naturally warm, authentic and intuitive approach to create a safe and nurturing environment for my clients to realise their strengths and empower them through recovery. My holistic approach to mind-body wellness utilises different evidence-based talk therapies and trauma informed approaches, alongside mindfulness, meditation, play therapies, and sensory processing.
When I’m not working you can find me at the dog park, the beach, meditating, surfing or anywhere else outside in nature. I have swapped the stage life for impromptu at-home performances (which my neighbours are yet to complain about).
