I’ve been a Social Worker for over 20 years and worked across a broad range of areas including Couple and Family Therapy, Parenting, Domestic and Family Violence, Separated Family Counselling, Trauma and PTSD, Individual Counselling, Mental Health and Disability. Since 2019 I have specialised as an Imago Couple Therapist.

I worked for many years at Relationships Australia and in the last two years have moved into private practice at The Base Health in Newcastle West. I’m married to Kaleb and we have three school aged children.

I specialised in Couple Therapy because relationships deeply affect mental health, wellbeing, and family life. Even strong, loving couples can run into challenges that are hard to work through on their own. Therapy provides a safe, structured space to address those challenges. Positive changes in the couple relationships ripple out into the broader family and beyond.
