Kia Ora and welcome,
Take the first step toward healing—counselling is your bridge to a brighter self.

It’s okay to be, and sometimes feel, a little messy. Life is messy and I know this isn’t easy!
But you don’t have to do it alone, so I am so glad you are exploring options to support yourself.
You deserve this!

If you are struggling and need someone to talk too, you are in the right space.
I work with individuals, teens and parents/families as well as ethnic minorities.

I am a member of NZAC and focus on offering skills for regulating emotions and working towards healing/thriving. I have been instrumental in the mindfulness modalities for therapy and emotional regulation across Australasia since the mid 2000s. Improving relationship (even that which you have with yourself) is the path to thriving. My motto is: the past informed the present, but the NOW creates the future. There is no time like now to step up and grow your relationship wellbeing.

I am a counsellor who values and respects each person's unique experiences and perspectives. My approach focuses on creating a safe, empathetic space where clients can freely explore their thoughts and emotions, fostering growth, healing, and meaningful change.

I have a special interest and experience with cultural and neuro-diversity, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I tailor my therapeutic approach according to each client's individual needs and wants. Although I mainly draw from person-centered and solution-focused therapy modalities, I often integrate aspects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Supporting clients to change unhelpful patterns, and find connection and meaning in their life are key aspects of my counselling.

I am a compassionate and experienced Licensed Counsellor (NZAC) and qualified Psychologist trained in Brazil, with over 30 years of diverse experience supporting adults through emotional challenges, life transitions and mental health concerns. As a bilingual practitioner (Portuguese–English), I provide trauma-informed, person-centred, Walk and Talk Therapy to promote wellbeing, balance and self-awareness. I offer support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, homesickness, relationship issues and cross-cultural experience

Tired of living in your head? I work with overthinkers, people pleasers, and ADHDers who look fine on the outside but feel quietly exhausted on the inside. Maybe you've spent years managing everyone else’s emotions while your own needs got buried. Together, we'll work toward your most authentic self – the one who feels grounded in their emotions, secure in their relationships, and confident in themselves.

You're welcome for individual and couples counselling.
I am committed to providing a safe and understanding environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. Let’s work together towards your well-being.

I offer face to face counselling as well as online. I provide a calm, safe space for people to work through issues that are causing them difficulties.

I believe that sometimes we soar and other times we struggle, my aim is to work with whatever you bring into the room and I will do the best I can to help you move forward in a happier, healthier way.

Overwhelmed by anxiety or depression? Frustrated with those around you? Dissatisfied with where your life and relationships are at?

I work with individuals, couples, children and young people, and can offer you a safe and confidential space to help you explore solutions that are right for you and your particular situation.

Clients come to see me with various difficulties in their lives like depression, loss, anxiety, bereavement, sexual abuse, trauma, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.

I’m an Existential therapist, and I offer individual counselling and psychotherapy. I like supporting people in activating their connection to themselves and accompanying them through challenging life situations. Additionally, I am drawn to Eastern Philosophy, mindfulness, and interconnectedness.
