Working through a trauma-sensitive lens, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to support you with difficulties such as anxiety, depression, and experiences within the continuum of complex trauma and dissociation. Together, we explore what feels most important to you, building greater self-awareness and understanding at a pace that feels safe. I have extensive experience working within the Jewish community, and as a South African therapist, I can also offer sessions in Afrikaans.
I use evidence-based approaches to support your therapeutic journey. Sessions are tailored to your needs using modalities such as DBR, Brainspotting, Bilateral Stimulation, CBT, EMDR, and creative or experiential input. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your experiences and challenges in everyday life.
I recognise that reaching out takes courage, and that trust is something built gently over time. In our work together, the focus isn’t on “What’s wrong?” but rather “What has happened and how has it affected you?” — always with curiosity and without judgement.
