Background

I am an overseas-trained psychologist who began clinical practice abroad. After moving to New Zealand in 1995, I continued my training and education, and I have been practising as a clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist here since 1997. I have worked in DHB Community and Inpatient services, and in 2011, I started my private practice. Throughout my extensive career, I have assessed and treated clients with a wide range of clinical presentations and varying levels of complexity.
