Your Identity Matters Here

Your identity—whether it’s related to your gender, sexuality, or any other part of who you are—is important. My practice welcomes people of all identities, and you will always be met with respect, empathy, and understanding. Whether you’re seeking clarity about who you are, affirming an identity you’ve long known, or simply wanting a space to explore, I am here to walk alongside you in that journey.

I understand that the process of self-discovery can feel overwhelming at times. If you’re questioning, exploring, or affirming your identity, I offer a collaborative and non-judgmental space to figure things out together. There’s no pressure to have all the answers right away. We move at your pace, focusing on your needs and goals.

Resilience Is Possible

The world can be a difficult place to navigate for LGBTQIA+ individuals. It’s easy to feel isolated, misunderstood, or marginalized. My practice is built on the belief that resilience is achievable through connection, understanding, and support. Together, we can explore ways to build that resilience, tap into your inner strengths, and create a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.

My Approach

I bring both professional training and personal understanding to my counseling practice. As a Provisional Member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors (NZAC), I uphold ethical and professional standards, while ensuring that my approach is authentic, collaborative, and person-centered. My practice is deeply informed by my own lived experiences and my commitment to creating a stigma-free environment.

A Message to My LGBTQIA+ Clients

You deserve to be seen, heard, and valued for who you are. Your journey, your identity, and your experiences matter. Whether you’re here to explore your identity, process trauma, or simply find someone who understands, you will find a safe and supportive space in my practice.

I understand that reaching out for support can be daunting. You may be wondering if therapy will truly be a safe space for you. I want to assure you that my practice is built on a foundation of authenticity, empathy, and respect for all individuals, regardless of where they are on their journey.

Let’s Work Together

Healing takes root through meaningful connections—with yourself, those around you, and the broader world.Together, we can uncover your strengths, build resilience, and create meaningful change. You deserve a life where you feel empowered to be your authentic self.
