"If you work long enough and hard enough to understand yourself, you will come to discover that this vast part of your mind, of which you now have little awareness, contains riches beyond imagination"(M. Scott Peck)

ABOUT ME

I am a psychologist who is passionate about walking mindfully alongside my clients, wherever they may be in their journey of healing and growth. It is my hope that every client welcomed into my practice feels accepted, understood, connected, and seen as a human being. Together, we may share laughs, cry, reflect spiritually, and marvel at life and all it brings. Ultimately, my goal is for each person to find holistic healing in a supportive environment, regardless of age, ability, gender, race, or sexual orientation.

MY TRAINING
AND EXPERIENCE

I completed my MA in Clinical Psychology at the University of Cape Town.

After graduating, I worked at the Military Hospital in Wynberg and formally joined the South African National Defence Force at the beginning of 2019. During this time, I served as a clinician for defence force members and their families, developing a particular interest in supporting the children and adolescents of military personnel with developmental challenges and issues of traumatic abuse.

I am now in private practice, working broadly in several areas of interest, including depression, anxiety, relationship-building skills, and trauma processing. I also teach and have collaborated with schools and various organizations to provide counseling services and workshops addressing issues that impact our community.

MY APPROACH

I am trained in Psychodynamic Self Psychology and CBT techniques. I have a special interest in anxiety disorders, mood disorders (depression and bipolar disorder), adjustment challenges, and interpersonal or relationship difficulties. I offer in-person and online sessions, individual therapy for adults and older adolescents (16+), and facilitate group sessions.

FAQ

Sessions run for 50 minutes.

I am registered with most medical aids in South Africa. If your medical aid has sufficient funds or active benefits, then you should be covered. You are also able to claim for reimbursement from your medical aid if you pay in cash.

Sessions typically take place weekly or at different intervals, depending on your needs. Once the main issues are resolved, I sometimes see clients monthly for check-ins.

I charge the standard medical aid rate for your medical aid. Alternatively, I have a cash rate, which is based on the average current medical rates. Please feel free to inquire for specific details.

The first few sessions are to help get background information, investigate what could be happening and establish what you need from therapy. Thereafter sessions may focus on insight building or addressing specific needs as they emerge.
