Hello, I'm Missy. I'm a Clinical Psychologist with a passion for empowering you to thrive in your life. Let's face it - life can be hard and stressful and sometimes you can feel stuck. My job is to listen and support you, and teach you skills and strategies that can help you get moving again. I always work from a client-centered approach and therefore my session with you is always tailored to your specific wants and needs. I provide evidence based assessment and therapy for anxiety and mood disorders, stress, burnout, life adjustment and grief. My special interest is working with mothers and supporting them in their wellbeing. If you are interested in working with me please get in touch via [email protected] I am also available for clinical supervision.

Missy helped me to really understand those changes and work on managing my anxiety better. She had some wonderful tools and tips for both my anxiety and parenting. I found her super relatable being a mother herself and she made me feel comfortable from the very first session." - Sophie "I first encountered Missy at one of her Empowermums courses, and was impressed by her calm, relatable manner, so she was an easy choice when I needed some help with my anxiety. She brought that same gentle, no-nonsense energy to our individual sessions. I found her easy to talk to, and she gave me some helpful tools to work on managing my anxiety levels. I'd definitely reach out to her again in the future. " - Kirstie "I'd wholeheartedly recommend Missy for any wahine looking to be the best she can be for herself and her family. Her astute and pragmatic approach was really helpful to me in working through some big roadblocks in a short time, and she helped me focus in on what was important to me." - Steph
