Education + Experience
My work experience began over 20 years ago, working with communities in humanitarian and development settings. In the past 12 years, I have mainly worked with families and parents in a case management capacity. Since 2015, my work focused on supporting men and fathers in a more therapeutic and psychosocial setting. In all of my work roles, I have been passionate about facilitating empowerment, restorative process, wellbeing, and growth. I am now offering counselling to individuals and couples. While academic studies have supported the evolution of my roles, personal study has been a significant part of the process.
