I have worked in the public sector at the Regional Eating Disorders Service in Auckland, and for the Auckland District Health Board Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service. I have worked in the private sector since 2013.

I work with people experiencing eating disorders, depression, relationship difficulties, stress, trauma, emotional overwhelm and regulation difficulties. I have a particular interest in working with anxiety disorders, including social anxiety, phobias, panic disorder, generalised anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. I specialise in working with children, adolescents and young adults.

I have training and experience in a variety of evidence-based therapies, such as cognitive behaviour therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy with a particular interest in acceptance commitment therapy. I am passionate about assisting people to live a life that is value-driven and meaningful for them. I help people develop insight, coping strategies and skills that help them manage distress, as well as manage difficult thoughts and emotions.
