Life can be challenging, and sometimes our thoughts become the hardest part to manage. I help people untangle these patterns, strengthen emotional resilience, and find long-term calm. With master’s degrees in Communications and Media and in Professional Psychology, I bring a balanced mix of human insight and clinical skill. My approach is grounded, collaborative, and inclusive of all identities and backgrounds, drawing from Schema Therapy, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic frameworks. I recently explored this in my blog When I Asked ChatGPT to Be My Therapist on The Three Seas website.

I also work with parents and caregivers of LGBTQIA+ young people to best show up for our queer kids.
As someone with lived queer experience, I understand the unique challenges that can arise during our journey to accept ourselves. I walk alongside my clients as they explore identity, work towards coming out or transitioning, heal from trauma, address shame, explore attachment patterns, navigate relationships and sex, and move toward deeper self-acceptance.

I am a queer and nonbinary clinical psychologist with a background in providing trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, person-centred therapies. Belonging to groups that are outside the mainstream of society, can add a lot of additional burden - and psychological therapy is not always set up to take an intersectional approach to understanding your issues. At all times, I want to celebrate your unique identity and not apply a one-size-fits-most response to support you. I have, however, also recently trained in EMDR and am looking forward to meeting clients who may be specifically seeking this model of care.

I work with children and adults to help them live a happier life. There is no issue too small, if it is impacting your life in a negative way, that is a problem I would be happy to help you overcome. Often people believe that problems like anxiety and depression will just go away on their own, however, unfortunately it usually just becomes stronger without support. CBT therapy offers proven tools and techniques to overcome issues like anxiety and depression and get back to the best version of yourself. I have used CBT therapy myself to overcome my own anxiety and I have not looked back since.

Mental health can look different for every individual. My role as a psychologist largely involves assisting clients to develop emotional resilience, as well as promoting healthy behaviour change. This results in clients living a more fulfilling life, regardless of what their current and or future circumstances present. Being able to accurately assess and treat clients in a supportive environment is central to my practice. Due to the nature of my psychology training, as well as my personal experience growing up as a 1.5 generation Korean/Asian in New Zealand and Australia, cultural responsivity is also a particular interest of mine.

You may be functioning on the outside — working, studying, showing up — while internally feeling anxious, disconnected, or emotionally drained. You might find yourself overthinking everything, repeating relationship patterns, or quietly questioning your self-worth. Even when nothing looks “wrong,” something doesn’t feel settled inside. Many people come to therapy not because they are broken, but because coping alone has become exhausting.

This includes parts work (IFS), somatic psychotherapy, inner child and re-parenting work, EMDR, attachment-based therapy, imagery rescripting, ACT, compassion-focused approaches, and mindfulness.
Connection, collaboration, empathy, and open-mindedness lay the foundation for my work. I am passionate about cultivating a safe, non-judgemental, and supportive space where individuals can freely explore and express themselves. I care deeply about helping people understand themselves more fully, so that genuine healing becomes possible. My work honours the whole person, moving beyond just "thought" alone to also attend to the body, the nervous system, and the underlying root causes shaping one’s experience. Respect for each person and their lived experience sits at the heart of my practice. Please know that I truly get it.
