I understand that each person is unique and there are also patterns that can make life difficult for us. My focus is to help you discover and move towards your goals, values, and a life that feels meaningful to you. I provide a safe, inclusive space for you to figure things out. I will listen and work with you to understand how patterns of coping (that might have been helpful in the past) are making life feel difficult for you today. I have experience working with adults and young people presenting with a range of challenges including anxiety, depression/low mood, trauma, PTSD, stress, offending behaviours, and life changes.
I have a PhD in psychology and a Post Graduate Diploma in Clinical Psychology. I am trained in EMDR, CBT, Schema Therapy, ACT and use elements of DBT where appropriate. I am a registered ACC sensitive claims provider.
I have been working for the last 20 years to help others create their best life - and I've been working to create my best life too. I am a sailor, a musician, a roller derby player, a music therapist, a cold ocean plunger, a parent, and a member of the rainbow community. I know what it's like live life fully and to need some support along the way.
