Mind Body Psychology

I am a New Zealand trained Clinical Psychologist and Neuropsychologist and have been practicing for ten years.

I provide individual psychotherapy to adults of all ages using evidence based treatments including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness and Positive Psychology (strength/ resilience based) in a safe and supportive environment. These treatment techniques empower people by giving them practical coping strategies to manage their difficulties in specific situations. I also focus on the very real "mind-body connections," especially when they relate to chronic pain issues and stress.

I see people who are dealing with:

• Depression
• Anxiety (e.g. obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, generalised anxiety disorder, social phobia, specific phobia)
• Post-traumatic stress disorder
• Brain injury
• Chronic pain and pain management
• Issues related to gender and/or sexual identity
• Dementia
• Grief and bereavement
• Adjustment issues (e.g. immigrants, life transition, chronic illness, physical disability)
• Work stress and burnout
• Motivation in sport and sport performance anxiety

I am originally from Germany and moved to New Zealand in 1986. I speak fluent, accent free English and German. I can provide therapy in both languages.
