I am a Certified Practising Speech Pathologist who values respectful, collaborative, and person-centred care across the lifespan. Speech pathology allows me to work alongside individuals, families, and support networks to support meaningful communication and swallowing outcomes that genuinely improve daily life.

I believe effective therapy is built on listening, mutual respect, and collaboration. Every person I work with brings their own experiences, strengths, and priorities, and these are central to how therapy goals are developed and reviewed.

It is important to me that you never feel like “just another appointment” in a busy clinic. My aim is to ensure that your communication and/or swallowing needs are clearly understood, thoughtfully addressed, and revisited as your circumstances change.

I work in this way by being:

• Approachable and transparent
  I welcome open and honest communication and actively encourage feedback. Therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and responsive, and I am always willing to adapt my approach to ensure it is working well for you.

• Respectful of individuality and complexity
  Each person is treated as an individual. I take time to understand what matters most to you and your support network, particularly when needs are complex or evolving.

• Flexible and solution-focused
  I actively seek creative and practical ways to reduce communication barriers, including those created by environments, systems, or expectations that do not adequately support individuals.

• Genuine and caring
  I believe that care, empathy, and authenticity are fundamental to good clinical practice. I aim to support each person with compassion and professionalism.

• Highly organised and ethical
  I take my professional responsibilities seriously and practise in accordance with Speech Pathology Australia’s Code of Ethics and professional standards.

• Committed to evidence-based practice and ongoing learning
  I engage in regular professional development to ensure therapy is guided by current research and tailored to each individual’s goals and needs.

To maintain a high standard of care, I intentionally keep a limited caseload. This allows time to answer questions, provide clear explanations, collaborate with other professionals, and develop individualised resources that support progress beyond therapy sessions.

New Frontiers Therapy is a mobile service, supporting individuals and families across the Sunshine Coast and Gympie regions.

I look forward to the opportunity to work alongside you.
