Can I share a secret from 17 years of private practice?
The majority of people don't feel they are good enough. Statistically this does not work.
It is not true.
YOU ARE ENOUGH

Boundaries not only protect your resources but also preserve relationships by keeping them sustainable.

If boundaries are not respected it says more about the other than your boundary. Hold firm 💜

Do you identify with ADHD Symptoms? Have you been recently diagnosed? Has your child been recently diagnosed with ADHD?

Do you struggle with motivation, time management, losing things, impulse control, emotional regulation, procrastination, hyperfocus or hyperactivity? Do you have an amazing, creative, innovative and neurospicy brain that has a great ability to connect and feel for others?

Due to the increasing demand on my waitlist for treating ADHD clients, I will be developing a program to help resource people more efficiently so you can get the support you need.

It's not always how it looks like on the outside.
Inside every adult, behind every defense- is a desire for connection. A desire to see and be seen.

It's an absolute tragedy that the AFL Selwood twins both lost their lives to su***de, just three months apart.

Adam had just lost his twin but was asked to campaign for su***de prevention, thrust in the public spotlight. This was all in a matter of weeks, when he was highly vulnerable.

The irony isn't lost on me that the su***de prevention campaign chose publicity over risk assessment.

The ethics of journalism needs to be considered here, but also the alarming statistic that almost 9 Aussie men commit su***de a day. What can we do about it?
