Salva is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and Clinical Family Therapist. She has a strong interest in treating trauma, PTSD, complex trauma using evidence-based interventions including EMDR therapy. With over 20 years of experience in public and private mental health she brings extensive expertise from working with diverse populations including young people with psychosis, aged persons, and survivors of family violence and sexual assault.
Salva works with adults, children and families and brings a compassionate understanding of parenting of neurodiverse children and working with neurodiverse adults.
