(she/her)

I am a Meanjin (Brisbane) based GP practicing Gender Affirming medical care aligned with the current Australian standards (Australian Informed Consent Standards of Care for gender affirming hormone therapy 2025).

From working in this field for the past 7 years I have had the rewarding experience of supporting hundreds of people realize their gender affirmation goals.

I am now joining Gender Health Australia and am excited to be seeing patients there from February 2026.

I am passionate about supporting adolescents and adults of any age to explore their gender and reach their goals.

I continue to work at Morningside General Practice and Holdsworth House

FAQs

  • I see people of any age for gender support.

  • At least one long appointment for history taking and a follow up regular (15min) appointment as well. Some will require more appointments.

  • It is a Medicare requirement that you be seen face to face or as a video consult as a new patient. If you still prefer a phone consult that is possible but would not be eligible for a Medicare rebate.

  • With the recent change in Queensland law it is now possible for GPs to prescribe stimulant medication. I am currently gaining experience in this area.

  • No I don’t have an interest in that area.

  • Absolutely! I am interested in sexual health and preventive health.

Gender affirming care for young people and adolescents

I work with a collaborative team to help affirm the gender of young people. That is going to look different for each young person who has their own individual needs, and wants to affirm their gender in their own way.

For some it may simply be feeling affirmed by having a good understanding of who they are. For others it may involve dressing or presenting themselves in a way that feels true to who they are.

The degree of distress experienced by each person will vary and some will have little or no distress when their presumed gender does not match the way they are perceived by others. For some others there is distress around being misunderstood and those may need support from parents, family members, friends and even psychologists.

I endeavour to meet young people wherever they are on their journey and help them to access services they may require to feel true to themselves and understood.

Parents will vary in their capacity to understand what their child is trying to tell them, and their capacity to support them. The whole family may need support when one member is feeling distress and asking to be heard and understood.

When it is necessary for that young person to consider putting a pause on puberty while they explore who they are, I work with a team of specialist psychologists and endocrinologist or sexual health physicians to ensure the person and their family are fully informed of what their options are and the degree of reversibility of each step.
