Kia ora from beautiful Queenstown / Tāhuna! I am a Psychologist providing therapy in Frankton, and I can help you to identify how struggles and patterns might be impacting on you living your life well. We all get stuck, which can make us feel alone and broken. If this is you, then please know you are a certified human being and you are absolutely not alone! Mental health is wealth, so good on you for considering making an important investment!

I work out of my lovely office space in Frankton, Queenstown, and I would be thrilled to help you with your mental health and wellbeing. I will help you figure out what things we can do, learn or change to help your situation - no matter where you are, there are always things we can do to make it better. I have no waitlist, and am almost always able to accept and welcome new clients, both face to face in Queenstown, and online via zoom.

I use evidence-based, effective types of therapy, and my style is very practical - you will always leave our sessions with a plan. If you have been feeling anxious, stressed out, confused, lost, a bit off, depressed, or really any other type of way that you aren’t happy with - its a good idea to talk to an expert about it - AKA me!

It is a brave decision to get therapy, and it is totally normal to feel anxious and unsure of what to expect. It is my job to make you feel safe and supported, by providing a comfortable and trusting, judgement-free environment, where we can work through the issues and achieve your goals (and I am pretty good at this!). Therapy is also a big commitment - your time, energy, trust, and money. I take this commitment and investment seriously, and I will work hard to make sure I honour it.

We all have suffering, this is human, and its my passion to help people turn this pain into growth, and into something meaningful. To do this I use a psychological therapy called ‘ACT’ - Acceptance Commitment Therapy.
