Nau Mai,
Welcome
Specialising in trauma-informed, healing-centred, evidence-based psychological therapies
About Me
I’m a Clinical Psychologist, a mama of three, with whakapapa to Ngāti Maru ki Hauraki. For nearly two decades I’ve supported wāhine through the hardest parts of motherhood: loss, trauma, the overwhelm of early parenting. Lately I’ve extended that same care to ACC Sensitive Claim holders, processing trauma memories alongside their lead therapist. I believe in clear talk, compassion, and work that honours your mana as the expert of your own life.
