After completing undergraduate medical training at Sydney University, I trained in psychiatry and qualified as a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists in 2000.  Since then I have worked in a wide range of clinical settings, including metropolitan psychiatric inpatient and outpatient services, rural psychiatric outpatient services, and private practice.   I have valued the opportunity of tutoring medical students at the University of New South Wales, and mentoring trainee psychiatrists in south-eastern Sydney area health services.  I enjoy the camaraderie of working in multi-disciplinary teams

managing complex clinical situations.

 

I have a keen interest in the assessment and treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and the various mood and anxiety disorders. I also assess and treat co-morbid conditions such as substance misuse.

 

The recent relocation of The Mindcare Centre has provided me with the opportunity to join the experienced team at The Gladstone Practice. I also continue my long-term commitment providing visiting psychiatric consultancy at The Griffith Community Mental Health Centre

 In the Riverina.

 

The facilitation of agency, autonomy and a return to optimum function are my therapeutic goals.
