There are many psychological strategies to improve pain, but sometimes people just need somewhere to vent while facing the adversity of pain. I am also a medicinal cannabis prescriber and am familiar with other pharmacological approaches to pain management. Whatever your needs, I am here to help.

Bendigo is Victoria's fourth-largest city, an inland regional centre with a celebrated gold rush heritage, outstanding cultural institutions including the Bendigo Art Gallery (one of Australia's finest regional galleries), and a contemporary economy built on healthcare, education, and manufacturing. Bendigo Health provides public mental health services to the region, and La Trobe University's Bendigo campus contributes trained mental health professionals and a student population to the local landscape. The surrounding Loddon Mallee region includes significant rural and farming communities, and Bendigo functions as a major referral point for mental health services across a large agricultural hinterland where access is a persistent challenge. Common therapy concerns include rural and farming community stress, student mental health, regional isolation, anxiety, depression, and the identity challenges of a regional city competing with Melbourne's pull for young professionals and families.
