I am a registered psychotherapist working in Auckland, New Zealand supporting people aged 18+.My practice is a space of acceptance, self-expression and discovery. It is a place where you can feel supported to know more about yourself and the challenges that bring you to therapy. In combination with talk therapy, I work with an integrated approach which means I also offer active ways to calm the mind and tap into inner confidence. You can introduce these into your daily life and establish wellbeing rituals that work for you.

How we begin

Therapy is a collaboration. I believe you are the foremost expert on you, but humans weren't built to do it all alone. In fact, suppressing and keeping things inside can make us unwell. We all need places of solace, spaces for expression, and the guidance of others to allow us to begin the work of discovering everything we are and hope to be.This work is not a quick fix, but it is a way to deeper, long-lasting change. Beginning therapy is courageous, and it is important to choose a therapist that you truly feel comfortable with. After you reach out, a phone call or initial session will help us establish what you're hoping for from therapy and help you to decide if you'd like us to work together.I work in-person in Grey Lynn or online on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.Cost: $150 per 50 minute session.

Why an integrated approach?

Alongside talk therapy, I find that a mind-body philosophy empowers us to create our own internal safe space from which we can become strong, and able to take action from, when we're ready. It is holistic and takes into account all aspects of being – breathing, walking, talking, creating, relating. It is trauma informed, affirming and non-pathologising.

My background + qualifications

My clinical experience includes supporting people with chronic illnesses at Auckland Hospital's Immunology and Allergy clinic, and people with general mental health concerns at AUT's Integrated Health clinic. My practice is also shaped by my prior education in art and design (Bachelor of Design). As a creative and artistic person, I see the therapy process as a creative collaboration that makes use of our natural human curiosity.
