About me:
My name is Jodi, I am a Registered Social Worker with 25 years’ experience working in different areas of practice with whanau and individuals. Growing up and living in Auckland for the majority of my life I have worked extensively in communities with diverse cultures.
My main focus has been in the area of family harm, sexual harm, child protection, addiction, mental health and the justice system. I have a particular interest working with and supporting woman, children and young people through family harm, crisis and trauma. Working from a strength-based approach I work holistically with clients and whanau finding their individual needs for them to obtain their best outcomes.
I currently reside in the Maniatoto and work across the Central Otago district, supporting families and individuals to navigate the challenges that life can present, I am happy to travel to Oamaru, Alexandra, Roxburgh and Dunedin.
Outside of work I have been a single parent to now three grown children and our beloved family dog. On my days off you can find me walking or on my bike exploring the amazing environment I am privileged to call home.
