Description

I have been a registered psychologist (category: counselling) with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) for 20 years.

My ultimate goal is to create that special, unique space where you can truly be yourself, feel seen for who you are, and have your authentic self understood, celebrated, and appreciated! I'm passionate about offering a warm, open, and non-judgmental environment where clients can feel safe while embarking on their exciting journey of self-discovery. I believe in highlighting clients' strengths, steering away from the common tendency to focus on perceived deficiencies - let's shine a light on what makes you amazing.

My areas of focus centre around treating challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, emotion dysregulation, distress intolerance, social isolation, loneliness, self-esteem, and goal achievement. I'm also thrilled to support tertiary education students as they navigate various issues. Whether it's a life transition or a quest for personal growth, self-awareness, and finding meaning in life, I am privileged to journey with you for a season in your life.

My approach is primarily psychodynamically oriented, infused with a deep love for existentialism and an evolving passion for humanistic psychology. When it comes to the therapeutic journey, I blend different modalities to tailor the experience to your unique needs, dynamics, challenges, and strengths. Psychotherapy provides the space to co-create something beautiful together.

I care about people and their experiences deeply and am therefore drawn towards assisting in relieving suffering and promoting growth and actualisation of others. However, I am not the only helper in the therapy room: by being allowed to walk alongside a client for a season(s) in their life, my meaning, my reason, and my actualisation can find expression.
