I offer bicultural therapy for anyone moving through grief, exhaustion, life transitions, or feeling disconnected from whānau, wairua, and the care that sustains us. My practice is grounded in kaupapa Māori values, deep listening and restorative kōrero. Together, we untangle heaviness, rekindle insight, and reconnect with purpose while honouring whakapapa and the mauri of your wellbeing. This service is grounded in bicultural therapy, which currently sits outside ACC’s physical treatment criteria. I welcome referrals from EAP and Hauora aligned providers, also offering flexible options for self-funded sessions.

Kia ora, Talofa, Hello! I am passionate about supporting people in the LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and polyamorous/CNM alternative relationship structure communities.

Relationship doubts, anxiety, long held patterns of behaviours, substance use, grief, aspiration for relief from effects of childhood traumas
I help individuals to thrive - predominately in relationship. As a couples counsellor/therapist I use Positive Psych, Relational Life Therapy, and Attachment Theory; adding mindfulness (presence skills) so clients can co-regulate, in session and in their lives. This model is a place of sharing - where any work that the individual needs, is witnessed and compassionately attuned to, by the partner. Many of my clients are Adult Diagnosed ADHD or AuDHD; Gifted; or partnered with such. 'Normal' is as unique as single individual I see. With communication skills, honesty, and intent - we can see you back to thriving.

I understand navigating the world from a place of perceived difference; how this can shrink and disconnect us from others, our lives, and also ourselves. This drives my passion for supporting clients in transforming Self-limiting beliefs and reconnecting with their inner wisdom, so they can lead their own healing/growth and truly thrive. Beyond Counselling, I’m a mother; I identify as part of the Rainbow community, and come from a diverse, multicultural family (Māori, Chinese, Irish, Dutch) - informing my cultural sensitivity and appreciation for the complexities of navigating dual/cultural identities, values, and systems.
