Travel Information
Kia ora, I am a registered Social Worker with SWRB a full member of ANZASW and an ACC accredited Counselor/therapist.
My passion is to empower people from all walks of life to achieve to their fullest potential.
I worked as a community social worker with youth, I have worked alongside of children as a social worker in schools, I managed adult mental health residential services both Kaupapa Māori and mainstream, and I have tutored in Te Wananga o Aotearoa teaching social services from a Kaupapa Māori perspective.
I work from a strength-based perspective but will incorporate western and Māori frameworks to enhance my practice.
I am committed to the well-being of those I walk alongside.
Whakataukī (proverb)
He aha te mea nui o Te Ao
He Tangata, He Tangata, He Tangata
What is the most important thing in the world?
Tis people Tis people Tis people.
