Student member - Association of Psychotherapists Aotearoa New Zealand

I am a Samoan/Pākehā therapist and former medical doctor offering warm, relational psychotherapy for adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, burnout, identity struggles, relationship difficulties, and emotional overwhelm. I work collaboratively and authentically, creating a space where clients feel safe, understood, and able to be themselves. I have a particular interest in working with Māori and Pacific clients, mixed-identity clients, and those who may feel disconnected, unseen, or like they do not fully belong.

Kia ora, I’m Mari. I offer a trauma-informed, body-centred approach to therapy, drawing from Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and an understanding of the nervous system. I bring warmth, deep care, and integrity to this work, supporting people to come home to themselves through the wisdom of the mind–body connection.

This can support those navigating trauma, grief, anger, confusion, and fear. And those feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns, or longing for more ease and connection.
