Online therapy meets you where you are. Whether you are at your home, or another private setting, online therapy provides the flexibility and environment where you are most comfortable.

I specialise in providing:
-
Therapeutic support to those aged 16 and older who want help to become the best versions of themselves by learning how to navigate anxiety, body image, assertive communication, relationships, and confidence.
-
Clinical Supervision for Social Workers working within a Clinical and Therapeutic domain in Aotearoa New Zealand registered with the Social Workers Registration Board (SWRB) with a special interest in supporting clinicians from North America working within a kiwi context.

Philosophy & Expertise
Individually tailored therapy sprinkled with empathy and humour.
With over 10 years experience, I am a registered Social Worker with the New Zealand Social Workers Registration Board (SWRB), the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW), a member of the Professional Association for Transgender Health Aotearoa (PATHA), and a member of the Australia New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders (ANZAED).
As a mental health professional, my practice incorporates aspects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Strengths-Based Therapy, Solutions-Focused Therapy (SFT), and Mindfulness.
In my online therapy practice, I primarily work with people who want to work on issues with anxiety, depression, communication, setting boundaries, confidence, and self-esteem.
​
I also provide specialist evidence-based treatment for diagnosed eating disorders through the Zealand Eating Disorders Clinic (NZEDC) - information about this is available under Eating Disorder Treatment. All eating disorder therapy must go through NZEDC as this type of work requires specialist consult and care involving a robust multidisciplinary team.
