Primarily, I draw from Integrative, Person-Centred, CBT, ACT, Narrative, Brief Psychodynamic, and Mindfulness-Based therapies.
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.

Hi, I am a registered clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist living and practicing in Nelson, New Zealand. My primary focus is providing psychotherapy. Psychotherapy involves the careful application of techniques that help people change their behaviors, thoughts, feelings, and other personal characteristics in ways that enable them to thrive and cope with the stresses of living. I prefer to work with clients in person but if meeting in person is impossible or impractical, I can provide services online.

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.
