Healthcare Leadership & Experience

At Harbor, Eileen works as part of the multidisciplinary team, so that each client’s nursing care fits with the rest of their treatment.

Her background in intensive care nursing means she is used to close monitoring of physical health, which is an important part of care for people being treated for mental health problems and addiction.

She also sees advocacy as part of her role, making sure clients are heard, whether they are in crisis or further along in their recovery.

Approach to Care

Eileen believes good care starts with treating each person with compassion and respect.

Beyond managing symptoms, she encourages clients to take an active part in their recovery, so they gain confidence in looking after themselves.

With her, clients have a safe and confidential space to talk openly about how they are doing.
