I am a registered clinical psychologist and member of the New Zealand College of Clinical Psychologists. I grew up in rural Canterbury and went on to study at Otago and Canterbury University. I completed my masters with the Child Development Research group at Canterbury University, working with children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder.

​

My background is working in adult community mental health, providing assessment and treatment for people with a vast range of difficulties.

 

Being from a rural background, I have a special interest in rural mental health and can offer unique support in this area. I provide down-to-earth, trauma informed care to promote recovery at a pace that suits my clients. 

​

I continue to work part-time at Te Whatu Ora, Health New Zealand, in addition to one day a week in private practice.
