Director of Wonky Lines Counselling, with a demonstrated history of working in the mental health care industry. Skilled in Family Therapy, Communication, Child Protective Services and Community Engagement.I have overcome many of my own trauma stories as an Aboriginal woman and it is through the power of yarning that I have arrived at where I am today. I am a strong believer in the power of self efficacy (confidence in the ability to exert control over one's own motivation, behavior, and social environment). Wonky Lines Counselling Services support you in finding your own solutions to problems and helping separate problems from people whilst building strength and resilience through Cultural Connection and Identity Strengthening and or Identity Formation. Working within the Child Protection space for the past 4 years within South Australia has been eye opening. I encountered opportunities for personal and professional growth and my experiences within Child Protection. I have worked within the Early Intervention and Prevention of child removals space, Foster Carer and Kinship Carer Assessment and Support roles, as well as supporting staff within the NGO sector and the Department for Child Protection with building their capacity to create Cultural Safety and work respectfully and safely with Aboriginal families. I have also contributed to strengthening and maintaining Aboriginal Cultural Identity Support Tool (ACIST) for Aboriginal children who are on long term orders with the Department for Child Protection.I have also supported young people in attending multiple Kids on Country programs which are designed and facilitated by the Nature Foundation.
