Ellen graduated from her Masters of Occupational Therapy at the University of Sydney in 2015. She has a deep desire to help people and brings compassion and empathy to every interaction. Ellen has worked across a number of sectors including residential and community aged care, insurance, veterans services and disability, although the last seven years have primarily been spent working in community based aged care and disability settings.

Ellen started her career with a keen passion for complex physical, neurodegenerative and palliative care caseloads with a special interest in complex home modifications; and whilst she maintains those passions, the past few years has seen her shift her clinical skills towards mental health therapy. She has undertaken professional development in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, trauma informed care and Neuroaffirming practice. She continues to describe herself as a generalist and applies her key clinical skills across a broad caseload.
