Connections WA Team

While my interest in psychology blossomed from curiosity and self-discovery, I quickly realised that I’m deeply passionate about understanding complex human behaviour and advocating for better treatment outcomes in the justice system. I hope to become a forensic psychologist one day, not just to study criminal behaviour, but to work toward a justice system that values autonomy in rehabilitation as much as accountability.

Neuro-affirming ADHD/ASD and PDA, school refusal, non-suicidal self-injury and safety planning, emotional dysregulation, parental separation, childhood trauma (adverse childhood experiences), ex-defence difficulties (e.g., adjustment to civilian life; trauma from serving) personality disorders, PTSD, intimate partner violence, OCD/Hoarding, assessments/report writing (I love writing). Biofeedback based interventions for emotional regulation (HeartMath).

Community has always been at the heart of what I do. With a background in business, event coordination, and volunteer work, I naturally thrive in spaces that bring people together. I’m deeply connected to many local groups and businesses, and I’m passionate about using those connections to support our community’s growth—particularly around the area of mental health. My experience working with children and families has shown me the profound impact that supportive, inclusive environments can have. That’s why I’m committed to creating welcoming spaces where both mental health professionals and community members can connect, learn, and grow together.

I value the ongoing opportunities for professional development, not only for myself but for everyone involved. Each monthly Mental Health Professional Network session offers fresh insights—from expert speakers to shared resources—making a real difference in how we approach mental health in our region. Personally, I’ve gained so much through these experiences, both professionally and personally.
