I believe everyone has the strength and resilience to overcome life’s challenges. My approach is grounded in empathy, understanding, and respect for each person’s unique journey.
I work from a Person-Centered framework and draw on evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and other therapies as needed. This integrative approach allows me to tailor therapy to each individual’s needs.
Before qualifying as a psychologist, I spent several years working in the South African mental health field and was employed in other industries. This diverse experience gives me a broad perspective and helps me better understand the complex personal, professional, and social contexts my clients navigate.
I offer therapy to adults, adolescents, and children (ages 6+), supporting individuals through a range of emotional and psychological challenges. For younger clients, I provide play therapy—a gentle, creative approach that helps children express and process their feelings in a safe environment.

I am a psychologist registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa and the Board of Healthcare Funders, my goal is to offer a calm, supportive space where clients feel heard, empowered, and equipped to grow.
