About me.

I am a Psychologist, and a mum of two. I have been registered with the New Zealand Psychologist's Board since 2012. I have worked with children and adults with Autism, Feotal Alchohol Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Global Developmental Delay and Intellectual Disability. I have also spent several years working with children and young teenagers who are engaged with Oranga Tamariki or Youth Justice Services. ​

Since becoming a mum I’ve heard so many stories of families finding that they don’t know how to manage some tricky behaviours and are struggling to find help. This has prompted me to create Crikey Child. My hope is to help out families in my local community by offering practical and affordable family psychology services.

So welcome! Scroll down to see the services I’m offering.

I’ll continue to add content like; e-learning modules, information about toddler taming, sleep, transitions and printable/downloadable resources.

I whakapapa to northland, I am Māori, English and Scottish on my Dad’s side and English on my Mother’s. I spent all of my childhood in Dargaville and moved to Hamilton to study.

I’ve stayed in the Waikato Region and live in Ōhaupō, just south of Hamilton with my husband and two kids.
