Julia has been a nurse for over 20 years, working both in Australia and the United States in general and mental health. She has now settled as a Nurse Practitioner in Australia and is passionate about providing care for people of all ages who are suffering with mental illness. She has a special interest in mood disorders.
Julia believes in looking at the entire person and how to support that person and their family or carer through recovery, incorporating pharmaceutical as well as community and therapeutic interventions.
Mental health involves complex and oftentimes confusing conditions that need to be explained in simple terms. Julia offers client and carer education, explaining all options and letting clients decide which path to take in their recovery. By providing information, clients are able to make better choices and stay engaged in their care for the long term.
