Background & Experience

Practice Philosophy
Kate believes that to provide quality care, we need to understand each individual child’s and family’s strengths and goals. The best outcomes also come from working together with members of the child’s and family’s wider community such as school, allied health, and other medical professionals. Kate has two young children herself and has great empathy for the common stressors of family life which many of us face.
