About

My Background

I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology and completed several years of research, study, and training in behavioural sleep medicine with leading experts Michael Perlis and Donn Posner. I also receive ongoing clinical supervision from a Clinical Psychologist to ensure my work remains grounded in best practice.

I have extensive experience supporting adults with moderate to severe sleep difficulties, sleep-related anxiety, and a range of psychological and emotional challenges.

Therapeutic Approach

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and non-judgemental. I work with clients to understand current challenges, reconnect with what matters most, and develop practical skills to navigate difficult experiences.

I draw on evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness‑Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). Therapy is always tailored to each client’s unique circumstances to support meaningful and lasting change.

To maintain high clinical standards, I regularly attend national and international conferences and professional training.

Practice & Availability

My practice is based in Wānaka, and I also offer online appointments for clients throughout New Zealand. I see clients Monday to Thursday and typically have appointments available within two weeks.

I am committed to providing a safe, inclusive space for LGBTQIA+ clients and for people from diverse cultural, religious, and racial backgrounds.

Outside of my work in sleep psychology, I enjoy spending time in the mountains running, skiing, climbing, and practising meditation.
