I believe we all have potential which can be nurtured and developed through the collaborative relationship-focused process of psychotherapy. My aim is to assist clients to discover meaning and purpose in life, to understand and relieve emotional distress, and to experience effective and satisfying relationships with others and with themselves in order to live and enjoy life more fully. My approach is to attend respectfully and compassionately to each client’s unique needs and goals and to the therapeutic relationship in which understanding and healing may unfold.

I am a registered psychotherapist trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy at AUT University. Before becoming a psychotherapist I practised as a registered homeopath, and worked in tertiary education, lecturing in health sociology in the Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences at AUT University. I have also facilitated creative writing groups and am passionate about supporting people to express themselves and live life creatively. I have fifteen years clinical experience with a range of client issues including trauma, sexual abuse, relationship difficulties, anxiety and depression, eating disorders, grief and loss, cancer and chronic illness, creativity and personal development. 

I offer long term and short term therapy for individuals and couples.
