Consultant Psychiatrist
Lyndsi approaches each patient with curiosity, compassion, and respect for complexity. She resists the modern tendency to over-medicalise human experience, striving instead to thoughtfully distinguish between human suffering, which may respond best to emotional, social or practical support, and mental illness, which may especially benefit from medical treatment.
Her broader mission is to help patients uncover the unique combination of factors contributing to their distress, and to support recovery in a way that honours both medical science and the spectrum of "normal" in human experience.
What Lyndsi’s About
Lyndsi was born and raised in the northeastern United States and moved to Sydney in 2004. After a career spent in the public health system, she is now focused on providing high-quality private psychiatric care that is affordable and accessible to people living with mental illness. She is especially committed to supporting those who have struggled to access care due to cost, and those who have felt judged, misunderstood or dismissed in past healthcare encounters.
