In my mahi, I understand that the path to wellness is unique to each person. Whether someone is dealing with anxiety, trauma, or navigating complex life transitions, I aim to provide a safe and supportive space for them to explore their journey. I take a holistic, strengths-based approach that helps individuals recognise their own resilience and take meaningful steps toward a more fulfilling pathway in life.
I specialise in working with people of all ages, especially those facing grief, emotional regulation challenges, or family dynamics. My practice is rooted in Te Ao Māori, honouring each person’s identity and experiences. Building trust and connection is central to my work, ensuring individuals feel supported as they navigate their healing journey.
By combining cultural wisdom with practical tools, my goal is to empower those I work with to make lasting changes. Whether through individual or whānau-based hui, I am dedicated to helping people discover their strengths, overcome obstacles, and move forward on their healing journey.

I work with tangata whaiora (people seeking wellness) who need support for a variety of reasons. Person-centred, Strengths Based, Whanau centred, Holistic, Narrative, Solutions focused and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy are the primary approaches I use in my work.
