Life's challenges can prove to be overwhelming especially during times when it feels as though those around us do not quite understand how to be there for us. Sometimes we find that we are able to overcome those difficulties; however, it is not always that we manage to achieve this. Each person is faced with problems ranging from relationship issues, poor stress tolerance, adjustment difficulties to anxiety and depression, among others. This is when the help of a warm, attuned and compassionate professional comes in handy to help you navigate and manage better with life's stressors.

Serves Area
Based in Johannesburg, I provide online and in-person treatment for adults and adolescents facing a range of emotional and mental health struggles, including anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, and relationship difficulties.
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 see children, adolescents, & adults across various difficulties such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationships, identity, substance use & more.
Maybe you have been holding it together on the outside while feeling quietly undone inside. Maybe you are exhausted by the same patterns, the same arguments, the same low mood or anxiety that never quite lifts. Or maybe you cannot fully name what is wrong, only a sense that something could be different.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
