“I have always been fascinated by the human experience; our sense of self, as well as our thoughts, feelings and words. I’m privileged to hear about my patients’ inner world, and that they trust me with their story. Mental health is not a one-size-fits-all; it is why our bespoke, tailored programs truly recognise the needs of each patient along with the importance of trauma-informed therapy.”

It’s wonderful to be part of a mental health organisation that ensures every interaction is engaging and positive; and that we're all contributing to elevating mental health care and patient outcomes.”

What's your why?

"I’ve been fortunate to have worked in many different sectors, but realised my passion for mental health soon after working in the industry.

The needs of our patients exceed everything else. It’s extremely rewarding to be part of a team of like-minded people who share the same values and goals.
