My psychotherapy approach is client orientated, integrative and has a holistic focus. I utilise knowledge, tools and techniques from multiple psychotherapeutic approaches to understand the cause and perpetuating factors contributing to my clients’ difficulties. This allows me to work collaboratively with them, to help them work through and overcome their problems. My focus emphasizes balancing clients’ psychological, emotional, relational and physical well-being to help them learn to manage all aspects of their lives. My aim is not only to help my clients, but to give them the tools and insights they need to notice problems arise.

You may have experienced a sudden painful disruption in your life which has thrown into question your beliefs about your relationships, yourself and the world, creating a loss of safety.
I am working with relationship difficulties, depression and difficulties coping. These difficulties usually require a medium-term committment to therapy (6 months or more). I am also working short-term in mindfulness-based therapy (12 - 15 sessions), which is indicated for anxiety, and requires a commitment to between session practice at home.

My mission is to promote mental health and financial freedom, grounded in the belief that wellness is the foundation of true wealth. I work primarily with working professionals, executives, athletes, creatives, entrepreneurs, and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds who are navigating black tax dynamics. I guide individuals from historically disadvantaged backgrounds towards genuine financial freedom by helping them heal deep financial wounds and personal trauma that shape their relationship with money. I journey with clients to transform scarcity mindsets into abundance consciousness.

My work is psychoanalytically informed, creating a space where clients can freely explore their thoughts, emotions, and histories at their own pace. While my foundation is psychoanalytic, I also make use of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) when clinically indicated, particularly for individuals who experience emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, or self-destructive behaviours. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and work collaboratively to ensure that therapy is a meaningful and transformative experience.

My ideal client is a woman who carries a quiet heaviness, feeling overwhelmed, unseen or unsure of where to turn. She may be going through significant life shifts, struggling to maintain boundaries, or feeling disconnected from the person she used to be. She longs for a space where she can exhale, be heard without judgment and gently find her way back to herself. Her goal is to feel grounded, safe and empowered to create a life that reflects her truth.

On the outside, you look like you’re managing it all. Inside, you’re exhausted. Work stress follows you home. You feel disconnected from yourself, from your partner, from the life you thought you were building. I work with high-performing professionals who appear capable on the outside but feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and emotional drained. Many of my clients are successful in their careers yet struggle with chronic stress, people-pleasing, and difficulty switching off, this often affects relationships. When you’re ready to feel more grounded, empowered, and connected, I invite you to reach out for a consultation.
