Clinical Psychologist

I am a dedicated and compassionate clinical psychologist with a strong commitment to enhancing mental well-being and fostering personal growth. My professional journey has spanned diverse settings, including Tū Māia (Regional Youth Forensic Service at Health New Zealand), Sidra Medicine’s Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in Qatar, and the Department of Correctional Services in South Africa. Most recently, I conducted neurodevelopmental and cognitive assessments with Starship Community at Te Whatu Ora, Health New Zealand. These experiences have provided me with a comprehensive understanding of clinical, forensic, correctional, and neurodevelopmental psychology. I currently work contractually for the Auckland District Health Board (ADHB) and in private practice, where I offer tailored psychological services to individuals across the lifespan.
I provide evidence-based assessments for children (aged 7 and above), adolescents, and adults, as well as therapy for adolescents and adults. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing on modalities such as: EMDR, Psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Brief Dynamic Therapy, and Mentalization Therapy.
