Kia ora

I am an occupational therapist and trained auxiliary at Wai Counselling and Psychotherapy. I bring a warm, steady, and deeply attuned presence to my mahi, supporting people to rebuild connection with themselves, develop meaningful routines, and strengthen their capacity for emotional and nervous system regulation.

​

As an occupational therapist, I support clients to understand how trauma, stress, identity, and life experiences shape their daily functioning, wellbeing, and ability to participate fully in life. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and culturally responsive, with a strong commitment to honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

​

I work with adults navigating anxiety, low mood, trauma responses, overwhelm, burnout, identity shifts, and difficulties with daily living or sensory regulation. I support people to grow their internal resources, build sustainable habits, and regain a sense of confidence and control in their everyday lives.

​

I am known for my calm presence, practical wisdom, and deep respect for each person’s lived experience. I work collaboratively, honouring people’s strengths and supporting them to cultivate wellbeing, resilience, and meaningful engagement in their daily lives.
