My approach is compassionate and tailored to meet each individual's unique needs. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients challenge and change negative thought patterns, Mindfulness-Based Therapy to encourage staying present and reducing anxiety, and Person-Centered Therapy to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space for self-discovery. I am committed to empowering my clients with the tools and strategies they need to achieve personal growth and mental well-being. If you're ready to take the next step toward a healthier, more balanced life, I’m here to support you on that journey. Book with me today!

I support individuals, whānau, and communities through life’s toughest challenges, including addiction, trauma, and family struggles. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to break free from cycles of harm, but I believe healing is possible with the right support. My approach is holistic and grounded in Te Ao Māori perspectives, ensuring care for the mind, body, spirit, and whānau. I draw on The Mauri Ora Framework to help families move from crisis to well-being and Te Whare Tapa Whā to restore balance. I also use CBT and Unconditional Positive Regard, providing a safe and non-judgmental space for people to heal, grow, and reclaim their lives. No matter what you’re facing, you don’t have to go through it alone. Reach out today, and let’s take the first step toward healing together.
