Who Am I?

Pronouns: she/her

Registered with NZ Board of Psychologists

Qualifications: Post-Graduate Diploma in Clinical Psychology, PhD

Working in Petone, Lower Hutt

Philosophy and Background

I am passionate about working alongside neurodivergent whānau to redefine and reimagine how they live, how they experience the world, and how they connect with others. My whānau is neurodiverse, and I parent neurodivergent children. I bring lived experience alongside clinical expertise to my work.

What do I mean by neurodivergent (singular)/neurodiverse (plural)? Neurodivergent people think or experience the world differently to most people ("neurotypical" people). Common terms for neurodiversity include Autism, ADHD, Developmental Delay, Learning Difficulties ("Dyslexia", "Dyspraxia"), Intellectual Disability.

Current Availability

This year, I have some availability to see children aged 2-5 years for an assessment to investigate possible Takiwatanga/Autism.
