Her career has spanned a diverse range of settings, including private practice, schools, prisons, universities, and corporate mental health services (EAP). She has also lectured at university level and delivered public presentations on a range of mental health topics.
She is particularly passionate about supporting individuals living with neurodivergent traits, chronic pain, physical, intellectual, and psychosocial disability, anxiety, depression, terminal illness, and the often-overlooked impact of caregiver fatigue.
