How I work
My approach
I love working in the mental health space and supporting people with nutrition in a way that feels practical, supportive and achievable.
I have extensive experience supporting young people with complex presentations, where both physical health and mental health need to be carefully balanced. This might include:
My work is grounded in a non-diet, trauma-informed and neuroaffirming approach, and I work closely with other health professionals to provide truly collaborative care.
Beyond the clinic room
Teaching, training and supervision
Education, training and collaboration
Alongside clinical work, I provide education and training for:
- Support workers and SIL providers around eating disorders and Meal Support Therapy
- Training on metabolic health, including metabolic syndrome and the impact of nutrition on physical and mental wellbeing
- General nutrition education to support mood, energy and overall wellbeing
- Families and carers needing practical, real-world strategies
I aim to make nutrition feel understandable, realistic and aligned with the person in front of me.
Supporting new dietitians
I am deeply passionate about mentoring the next generation of dietitians. I offer clinical supervision for new graduates and early-career dietitians, whether you are:
- Preparing for job applications or interviews
- Building confidence in clinical skills
- Working in eating disorders or mental health
- Or simply looking for a supportive space to reflect and grow

A little more about me
I feel incredibly fortunate to do work that is meaningful every day. Supporting young people and families through some of their most challenging times is something I don’t take lightly.
Outside of work, I’m a mum, love animals and a great TV series, and really value connection, balance and the small, everyday moments.
My approach is always centred on connection, compassion and meeting people where they are at.
