My Experience
I am an Occupational Therapist with over 15 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults and older people. My background spans both physical and mental health, allowing me to take a holistic approach that focuses on each person's strengths, goals and everyday participation.
Before establishing Integrated Therapy Taree in 2019, I worked across a range of public health settings, including Child, Adolescent and Adult Mental Health Services, providing assessment, intervention and case management in emergency, inpatient and community teams.
I have also worked in aged care, supporting older adults through falls prevention, home assessments, equipment prescription and home modification recommendations to promote safety and independence.
My practice is informed by occupational therapy, psychological approaches and trauma-informed care. I am passionate about helping people of all ages build confidence, independence and participation in the activities that matter most to them.
