My practice is dedicated to working with young people and their families, as well as adults struggling with primary obsessive-compulsive and anxiety disorders. Clients I work with often experience distressing thoughts, emotional overwhelm, and impacts on their day to day behaviours such as avoidance of the things they once enjoyed. I am passionate about providing evidence-based, personalised, and non-judgmental care to help my clients to reclaim their lives.
I offer standard telehealth sessions across New Zealand utilizing treatment modalities such as ACT, ERP, and SPACE. Within a reasonable driving distance from the Hamilton CBD, I offer in-person intensives, which involves extended and/or multiple sessions weekly taking place primarily in the community (e.g., home-based sessions).
Please do not hesitate to reach out for a free consultation to see if we may be a good fit.

I adapt evidence-based treatments to match you and your context. We will work together to determine what therapy will look like in order to make it as personalised and effective as possible. For younger clients, I require a significant level of caregiver involvement, with this at times being the primary intervention.
