Therapists in Whangarei

As a clinical psychologist and certified anxiety coach I help women who are tired of anxiety or depression getting in the way of everything they do. I support those who are passionate and wanting more from their relationships and their lives, but are feeling held back by mental health concerns. I work with women who want more intimacy (get your libido back) and connection, as well as mothers who are tried of anxiety getting in the way of their parenting. I support career and business women who want to scale their dreams but find anxiety keeps getting in the way...

I have been working as a clinical psychologist for 10 years. I have worked in a wide variety of settings and my specialty is health psychology and women’s health which includes working with children, teenagers, and adults with either acute or chronic medical conditions. Additionally, I have worked with clients in the LGBTQ community and have assisted clients who are struggling with identity and/or cultural issues.
