I offer therapy in person and online via video.
I help mothers and women struggling with anxiety regulate their nervous system so they can move from feeling constantly overwhelmed, reactive, and exhausted to feeling calm, grounded, and safe within themselves. I've been there myself. I know what it feels like to live with constant anxiety, exhaustion, and overwhelm, and I also know how life-changing it is to finally feel safe in your own mind and body. I'm a mother of two, hold a Master of Science in Psychology, and I'm a certified Rapid Transformational Therapist. I am supporting women to create lasting change through subconscious rewiring and nervous system regulation.

We work with adult clients across the whole wellbeing spectrum: from people who want to get more out of their life, find a deeper sense of self, or connect to their body; to those that have experienced trauma struggling with basic tasks of daily living. Many have found traditional cognition based talk therapy less helpful or do not know yet how to put their experiences into words. No matter your reasons, we are here to create a space in which we can explore where you are, what you want, and what you need.

Psychologist, PhD, MNZCCP
Wanaka 9305
I provide in-person workshops to enhance couples' relationships, then see couples for follow-up coaching sessions, both in-person and online
I work with couples who, on the surface, may look like they’re managing—but underneath feel distant, misunderstood, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to shift. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and more importantly, you’re not beyond change. My approach is practical, respectful, and grounded in real-life relationship dynamics—especially the complexities that come with midlife, long-term partnership, and changing roles. I don’t focus on blame. I focus on helping you understand what’s actually happening beneath the surface, and giving you tools that work in real conversations, not just in theory.

I work with individuals and couples who are functioning on the outside but struggling internally, feeling anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected in relationships, or stuck in painful repeating patterns. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who find themselves overthinking, shutting down, becoming reactive in conflict, or losing themselves in relationships. Together, we work to understand the patterns beneath these experiences, develop greater self-awareness and emotional steadiness, and create more connected, intentional ways of relating to themselves and others.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.

When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.

How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
