I am a New Zealand fully trained, Registered Psychologist. With my breadth of extensive training, research and internships, I have developed specialist interests in different areas of psychology. My extensive training and experience allowed me to develop commitment to excellence and appreciation of the vulnerability, diversity and presentation of people.
For my clients, my main assets are my approachable demeanour, emphasis on wellbeing and straightforward appraisal of their unique needs and situation. I am committed to providing an exceptional, personalised psychological service with the utmost standards of quality and confidentiality.
