I am passionate about helping people break through barriers that are commonly imposed by the dominant culture while finding ways to work more comfortably both inside and outside ‘the box’ to achieve goals. I've worked with clients in settings ranging from prison to university, and you can count on my acceptance ‘as you are’ without judgment while helping you recognize and recover your own strengths. I bring expertise to support you with a wide variety of concerns, and I have particularly enjoyed working with clients whose lived experience includes neurodiversity, gender diversity, and relationship diversity.

I believe counselling can be offered to any presenting issue and I have particular interests in ADHD, Grief and loss, trauma (incl childhood), lifestyle balance and people pleasing and weight loss.
Offering counselling in two locations in South Auckland. Therapy is not a one size fits all. As a practitioner I believe in working alongside my clients to tailor sessions for them. I bring a number of years of experience in psycho education and therapy. In therapy I want to hear about who you are, where you're struggling, then move together towards self discovery and a more beneficial outcome. Sometimes we don't even know why we are struggling and that's ok too. Therapy is about self-discovery, healing, learning new tools, and moving forward.

I empower people to make productive changes in their life. I work within the unique physical, mental, and emotional contexts of an individual, but pay particular attention to working through mental and emotional blocks that keep people from living a life full of health, vitality, and happiness. The core of what I do is reconnecting clients with their body so that they learn how to listen to their body and the wisdom it has to offer. We may not always like what we find there, but getting into our body transforms the way we relate to our mind, body, and the world.
