Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“Through our therapeutic journey, you can gain insight on how to decrease overwhelm and stress and show up as your most authentic self. I'm a registered mental health clinician who can help you navigate the challenges that you are facing.”

About Me

Through our therapeutic journey, I help you gain insight to decrease overwhelm and stress. As a registered mental health clinician, I can guide you through life's challenges. We'll explore patterns and reactions, helping you understand how to show up as your most authentic self. This approach is ideal if you feel stuck, seeking clarity. Together, we find practical ways to navigate daily pressures, supporting your path to greater calm.

Approach

We explore the small, everyday moments where thoughts and reactions knot you up, then translate those discoveries into clear, practical steps you can try between sessions. Sessions in Wanaka or online are paced to suit adolescents, adults and groups, moving between brief reflections, experiential tasks and steady tracking so progress feels tangible. I encourage experimenting with values-based choices and grounding practices that help manage pressure and mood over time. This way of working often suits people seeking clarity and steady, practical change.
