Amy is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker, EMDR therapist, and Mindfulness Teacher. With over 12 years of diverse experience across community mental health, crisis response, gender-based violence, homelessness, youth services, addiction, and private practice, Amy brings both clinical depth and grounded compassion to her work.

Based in Merri-bek on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung country, Amy provides individual therapy, EMDR intensives, and group therapy, supporting adults to explore the roots of their distress and build lives that feel more connected, spacious, and meaningful. Amy is particularly passionate and skilled at working with complex trauma, attachment wounding, emotional dysregulation, and the impacts of systemic and relational harm.

Amy’s approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in social work values. She draws primarily from Schema Therapy, EMDR, Mindfulness, DNMS, and nervous system-informed frameworks. Amy will spend time with you doing resourcing and will explore how your early experiences, identity, and social context shape your story. Her work is non-pathologising and rooted in a deep respect for the nervous system, attachment, and the impact of social determinants on mental health.

Amy holds a strong critique of the limitations of western and biomedical models of mental health, which often reduce people to diagnostic labels and ignore the broader systems that create distress. She believes that distress is not a sign of personal failure, but a deeply human response to unmet needs, trauma, and marginalisation. Her practice is LGBTQIA+ and neurodiversity-affirming, anti-oppressive, and guided by a lifelong commitment to learning and unlearning.

Alongside her clinical work, Amy also supervises social work students, facilitates training for emerging therapists, and offers reflective consultation to other practitioners.
