She is grounded, relatable, approachable, and non-judgmental. Zoie’s practice centres on creating a safe and secure space where her clients and their family feel valued and supported. Her therapeutic approach is holistic and she uses evidenced based techniques that are tailored to her client’s experiences and preferences. Zoie works within a community to support her clients, which involves liasing with parents and family members, allied health professionals, schools and other services to support her clients.

Zoie is passionate about supporting access to mental health services for members of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Communities. She completed the Diploma of Auslan (Australian Sign Language) in early 2023 and aspires to continue her training to be a NAATI certified Auslan interpreter.
