Experienced Hamilton-based Occupational Therapist: Enhancing Lives through Therapy

​

As a dedicated Occupational Therapist based in Hamilton, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, including children, teenagers, families, and adults. Therapy is a space where individuals can develop essential life skills, feel understood, and have their voices heard. One of my passions lies in working with families and understanding the dynamics that shape their experiences.

​

I employ a range of therapeutic techniques tailored to meet the unique needs of my clients and their families. These include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), EMDR-Sandtray therapy, attachment-based family therapy, Theraplay, expressive and creative therapy, the Havening approach, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

​

With children and teenagers, I specialise in addressing a variety of concerns such as behaviour problems, anger management, ADHD, anxiety, depression, disordered eating, grief and loss, oppositional defiance, low self-esteem, school-related challenges, peer relationships, coping with change, and issues related to divorce.

​

When working with adults, I draw upon ACT and EMDR to address trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, and parenting challenges.

​

Furthermore, I provide sensory assessments and interventions for children, teenagers, and adults who experience difficulties with sensory processing, which can impact their daily functioning.

​

My educational background includes a master's degree in Psychology, a Bachelor's degree in Occupational Therapy, and a bachelor's degree in education. Prior to entering the mental health field, I worked as a pre-primary and primary school teacher, which has further enriched my understanding of individuals' developmental needs.
