I commenced my career at a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre and have a strong foundation in addiction treatment. I bring over 15 years of experience across both clinical and custodial environments working with clients ranging from young adults to older individuals, specialising in rehabilitation, behavioural support, and working with individuals presenting complex needs. I am experienced in delivering individualised, tailored interventions to support client recovery, promote behavioural change, and improve social outcomes. I am skilled in case management, crisis intervention, developing structured case plans, and applying therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to achieve positive outcomes.
