Originally from Austria, I have made Aotearoa New Zealand my home since 2001.
I am a registered Social worker with 30+ years of frontline experience in a variety of settings, both here and overseas. As a trained Supervisor, I bring both practical wisdom and theoretical knowledge to support your professional journey.
My Supervision practice is firmly grounded in understanding the unique challenges of working in helping professions in the current environment and the bicultural context of our beautiful country. I currently supervise a range of allied health professionals in a variety of work settings.
For 20 years, I worked as a Social worker in a local hospital, specialising in rehabilitation and community integration. In 2016, I branched into private practice contracting to ACC where I now provide social work services under sensitive and physical claims.
In my spare time, I enjoy being in the garden and doing pottery.
