Therapy is a specialized conversation, which is both a science and an art. It creates a deep relational connection and a safe space, where we can heal, grow stronger, or just move forward. We do this by discovering who we are, what we want, and how to get there. I am passionate about meeting people, journeying with them, facilitating change, and watching as they become more at ease within themself, with others, their world, and spirituality.
I am registered within the clinical scope of psychology with the New Zealand Psychologists Board, with a special interest in working with adults, couples, adolescents, trauma, addiction, telehealth, and professional business coaching.
I would like to journey with you, either in person, or in the convenience of an online setting.

Curiosity about our ability to change, enriched my professional development. I explored different types of change conversations, such as facilitation, lecturing, consulting, psychometric assessments, executive coaching, supervision, and forensic psychology. Today I draw on this in private practice.

People come to me for a variety of reasons. Some with specific problems, and others for meaningful life changes. In the first session we explore this reason, set goals, and talk about our plan. During our sessions we work towards these goals. People typically gain insight into their thinking, feeling, and behavior, and make lasting changes. This also helps them to come to terms with who they are.

While my training and experience exposed me to many different schools of psychology, I have a very relational approach. I like to create a safe space, by making a real connection, and understanding your experience. From there, we work together to discover you are, what you want, and how to get there.
