I am credentialed in Australia with 10 years + of professional work experience, and a Fellow in medicine. I have worked with people from all walks of life, and have spent several years working with our mob in the community. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, functional neurological disorders, sleeping disorders, depression, & coping with life changes. As a person living with multiple sclerosis, I can truly say "I understand". I believe in treating everyone with respect, dignity, sensitivity, and empathy. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
