Many people experience emotional or relational distress that cannot be understood outside of their cultural, family, and spiritual context. For individuals rooted in African and South African ways of being, therapy can sometimes feel disconnected from lived realities.
I work with adolescents, adults and couples, attending to psychological distress, and complex emotional and psychological difficulties within relational, cultural, and spiritual contexts.

What has happened? Often when the initial shock wears off we will say, "I am okay now". However, we underestimate the impact of the frequent traumas and stressors in our lives. Over time these pockets of tears, fears and pain affect our relationships, leaving us in feeling more alone. I am a Clinical Psychologist with an medical and stress related background. My integrated therapeutic focus is on interpersonal relationships and the emotions that can affect them.

I am a Counselling Psychologist situated in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg, in close proximity to the areas of Rosebank and Sandton. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families addressing current challenges with a Solution Focused approach. These challenges may include some more common complaints such as depression and anxiety, or those trying to come to terms with a trauma or bereavement. My approach is focused and therefore short-term in nature. As such long term time commitments is uncommon. I hope this can help people achieve significant change whilst offering them a more cost effective therapeutic approach.

Most people just want to be happy. While that can certainly be achieved through counselling, I believe happiness is an emotion, like others, that comes and goes. Instead I work with you to create more peace, joy and fulfilment in your life. These are deeper long-lasting goals that are the foundation of life satisfaction. Over and above the specific concern you wish to work on, I aim to help you connect with who you really are as a person and facilitate the path to who you would like to be.

Often we find ourselves responding to painful situations in ways that feel familiar but difficult to explain. We may repeat patterns in relationships, struggle with the same feelings, or feel stuck in ways we cannot fully understand. These difficulties becomes easier to navigate when there is room to explore them safely with another person. Therapy offers a professional, non-judgmental relationship that can help make these experiences more understandable and create opportunities for change.

I am a Clinical Psychologist grounded in compassionate, inclusive care. My work draws from psychodynamic training while remaining tailored to each individual’s needs. Therapy is a collaborative process, shaped by your story and your pace. Always thoughtful. Always human.
Therapy can be seen as a work in process. A collection of human experiences slowly and carefully weaved together. Often challenging, sometimes light-hearted, always guided by you.

You may appear to be coping on the outside while privately feeling overwhelmed, anxious or emotionally exhausted. Perhaps you've experienced trauma, struggle with persistent anxiety, feel stuck in repeating relationship patterns, or find yourself constantly overthinking despite knowing better. I work with adults, professionals and athletes facing these challenges. Together, we identify the underlying patterns keeping you stuck and use evidence-based psychological therapy to help you regain clarity, confidence and emotional freedom.

Slow down, feel heard.
People often come to therapy when things feel heavy, stuck, or unclear — or when there’s a sense that something could be different. As a Clinical Psychologist, I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to create a space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin to make sense of what’s going on in your life and relationships.
Together, we explore current challenges such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and life transitions, while also making sense of the patterns and experiences that may be shaping them — whether at home, work, school, or in sport.

Often, people come to therapy not because there is one clear problem, but because something doesn't feel quite right anymore. You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected from those around you, or wondering why the same difficulties keep resurfacing. I work with children (7+), adolescents, adults, and couples experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, maternal mental health concerns, grief, and major life transitions. Together, we explore these experiences with curiosity and care.
