I am a registered Clinical Psychologist with a wide range of experience in both community mental health services and private practice. Alongside a number of modalities for individual therapy, I am trained in the Developmental Model for Relationship Therapy and have a particular interest in re-partnering and blended families as well as sexuality issues. I use a collaborative, relational approach tailored to meet the specific needs of my clients to help them navigate the inevitable, on-going stressors of our modern-day lifestyle.
I am passionate about working alongside couples, helping them discover constructive ways to may remain connected. This includes helping them identify unhelpful patterns of behaviour and their source, develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their partners, discover new ways of communicating and relating to each other and support their growth both individually and together. I provide a safe, accepting and reflective environment for couples to share their vulnerabilities so they may deepen their trust and intimacy and by so doing, build a stronger, fulfilling relationship.
I am a full member of the New Zealand College of Clinical Psychologists, the New Zealand Psychological Society, the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts, ACC registered and adhere strictly to the Code of Ethics.
