Originally from country Victoria, Renee brings a warm, down-to-earth and personable approach to her practice, shaped by a deep appreciation for community and connection.

With more than a decade of experience across the community services sector, Renee has worked alongside people from diverse backgrounds and life experiences, including community mental health, community development with refugee and migrant communities, disaster recovery, supporting women within the justice system and most recently supporting survivors of abuse and neglect.  These experiences have strengthened her commitment to trauma-informed, strengths-based and person-centred practice, grounded in compassion, curiosity and respect for each person's unique story.

Renee holds a Bachelor of International Community Development and is currently completing a Master of Social Work. Her professional background has been shaped by a strong commitment to social justice, human rights and community empowerment and she is passionate about supporting people to navigate challenges, build on their strengths and create meaningful change in their lives.

Renee's approach is collaborative, relational and non-clinical. She believes healing and growth are fostered through genuine connection and strives to create a safe, supportive and authentic space where people feel heard, understood and valued. She has a particular interest in incorporating holistic and nature-based approaches into her practice, reflecting her belief that connection with the natural world can play an important role in supporting overall wellbeing.
