I work on a broad range of issues from depression, anxiety, grief, and life's challenges to severe trauma. I am originally from America and have been in New Zealand for 27 years. I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds and ethnicities, including Maori, Pasifika, European and Asian. My clients are in NZ, Australia, SE Asia, the UK, and the USA.
My professional qualifications include:

I regularly attend training workshops and seminars for ongoing professional development. I am also a full member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors (NZAC) since 2005.
As a counsellor, I provide a confidential online counselling service via Google Meet, Skype, FaceTime. I have an objective, professional and non-judgmental perspective. I can give you the skills to cope with problems more effectively. This will help build emotional strength, address problems and improve your quality of life.
