Kia ora & hello. If you are feeling lost or stuck, psychotherapy can be helpful in uncovering & untangling what may be happening for you. Psychotherapy can also help if you are experiencing relationship and/or communication difficulties; if you feel anxious or sad for no apparent reason; if you feel stressed or affected by life and/or world events; if you are interested in a deeper understanding of yourself. In nurturing self-awareness for the past & present, old stories & adaptive patterns, your conscious & unconscious, psychotherapy can help bring about understanding & lasting changes.

I seek to meet my clients where they are, sensitively feeling into what it might be like to be you, with respect, openness and warmth. I have a particular interest in guiding individuals through the intimate process of working through emotional pain and early relational trauma. I tend to focus on what is happening in the client/therapist relationship. How do you feel about the way we are working together? What does the connection between us feel like today? Examining relational patterns in this immediate way can help us discover what it means to engage non-defensively and authentically with ourselves and with life.
