Let's Connect (03) 5449 7610
I work well with people who have experienced trauma, neurodivergence, and have a commitment to improving their mental health. I offer ADHD and autism assessments as well as general psychiatry for the neurodivergent and LGBTIQ+ communities of Central Victoria and beyond.
People who have experienced significant trauma resulting in dissociative identity disorder or borderline personality disorder tend to find me easy to work with. I bring lived experience of autism, ADHD, PTSD, and depression to our therapeutic relationship.
I look forward to meeting you! Please get in touch with our receptionist team to book an appointment, and don't forget to send your referral for a Medicare rebate.
