I'm an ACC registered Clinical Psychologist practicing for the last 14 years. My special areas of interest include Borderline Personality Disorder and Social Anxiety. Helping my clients handle mood swings, interpersonal difficulties, dissociation and difficult emotions such as anger and anxiety form a major part of my work. I hold a Masters degree in Psychology and an MPhil and PhD in Clinical Psychology. I am registered with the New Zealand Psychologists Board as a Clinical Psychologist and am a registered treatment provider with ACC.

I work with adults, 18 and above (no couples) on issues such as inter and intrapersonal relationships, managing stress, self-esteem, recovering from past addiction and general well-being. Clients who see me for therapy tend to seek mid-term to long-term support to find clarity about how their past affect current troubles. They feel that their inner child was not quite heard and witnessed. They may find it difficult to express and regulate their emotions. They find themselves stuck at crossroads when making decisions. Despite it all, they seek to be heard without judgement as being in therapy can open up layers of vulnerability.
