I worked for 9 years as a support worker with people with severe and enduring mental illness in an adult mental health recovery service for the Waikato DHB. For the last 3 years I a have been working in the youth mental health sector. Additionally I have been working with private clients for the last 5 years.

My years working in mainstream mental health gave me a solid foundation in best practice – client lead, strengths based, confidential, responsible.

My own lifelong struggle with symptoms of Complex Post Traumatic Stress (CPTSD) drove me to search for approaches that would really, deeply improve my mental, physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.

I have explored many approaches and decided to train in the two that I found most helpful for me – Integrated Attachment Theory and Forgiveness Therapy

Reconnecting with my Christian faith has, for me, been the missing link in my healing journey. Having daily communion with my Higher Power brings me immense comfort and guidance.
