I am a trauma-trained counsellor and couples therapist committed to helping people work through difficult seasons. I strive to create a safe space where my clients feel heard, validated, and respected, free from judgment. I work holistically, incorporating the whole person, and I employ an integrative approach tailored to my clients' needs. I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy) for those with trauma symptoms. Those who know me would describe me as caring, authentic, and approachable. I am originally from Wellington but now live in the Bay of Plenty; I am married to my husband of 26 years and have one child and three grandchildren. I love reading, keeping active, watching movies, and travelling.
