I’m a mental health occupational therapist with over 15 years of supporting people in community mental health, the NDIS and private practice. I help people who might be burnt out and dysregulated get their daily life back on track.
This might look like, stress, exhaustion, sensory sensitive/overload, overwhelm, relationship challenges, poor sleep or reduced work capacity.
I'll help you connect with what matters most to you and find practical strategies to support emotional regulation, capacity for stress and improved wellbeing.
I work in a way that’s collaborative, flexible and genuinely curious, with a focus on building relationships that feel safe and supportive. I draw from a range of therapeutic and occupational therapy approaches including ACT, CBT, DBT, sensory-based strategies and polyvagal-informed but I always tailor these to the person in front of me.
Occupational therapists bring a unique lens to mental health care. We recognise that wellbeing is shaped by how we live, connect and find meaning in each day.
I am not here to replace psychology, I work well alongside it. I find I'm particularly helpful when someone is overwhelmed, burnt out or struggling to function despite therapy.
