Her niche primary care interests include anxiety management, chronic pain mitigation, acne and skin health, children’s health, insomnia, and men’s mental health. She participates in health promotion as a member of the GP reference group for Andrology Australia (Healthy Male).

She is a prescriber of medicinal cannabis and is passionate about providing access to this treatment for those living with chronic pain and anxiety where she has seen it benefit many of her patients.
