About Me
As a Licensed Psychologist with 17 years' experience, I support children, young people, and adults. My personal experience of healing from past trauma brings unique depth to our work. I offer a deeply understanding space where we can explore your experiences together. This blend of professional expertise and lived insight helps you find practical ways forward, whatever your age or background.
Approach
My own recovery informs a steady, practical way of working that balances emotional safety with movement—sessions feel calm, focused and purposeful. From my Papamoa Beach office or via online appointments across New Zealand, we set clear, manageable steps and check in on pace so you never feel pushed. Together we gently target distressing memories and anxiety, pairing in‑session processing with simple tools to use between meetings. This way of working often suits adults ready to make lasting shifts and reclaim more calm in daily life.
