My areas of specialism

Who I work with

My ideal clients are individuals or families who are looking for practical, compassionate support to improve wellbeing, participation, and quality of life.

I have a specialism in working with adults and veterans who need rehabilitation, case management, or support following illness or injury.

I also support children and families navigating sensory processing differences, neurodivergence, and additional needs.
