Hello, I'm a clinical psychologist registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). I offer a compassionate, client-centered approach to therapy, focused on supporting individuals as they navigate challenges, rebuild resilience, & reconnect with their authentic selves. Grounded in evidence-based practice & nearly 15 years of clinical experience, my work honors the complexities of each person's journey. I aim to provide a collaborative, safe space where healing and growth can unfold naturally.
With over a decade of experience across child, adolescent, and adult mental health services in the public sector, I bring warmth, humility, and clinical insight to my private practice. My approach is grounded in respect, empathy, and inclusivity. I integrate psychodynamic, person-centered, and trauma-informed practices to support clients in their growth.
I view the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative journey where clients are gently supported to explore, heal, and reclaim their sense of self in a way that honors their unique experiences, identities, and strengths. My practice offers a calm, grounded space that invites reflection, safety, and meaningful engagement.
