I believe therapy is a journey of reconnection with your true self — the part of you that has never been broken, only hidden beneath pain, fear, loss, or the demands of life. Together, we create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore life's challenges with curiosity rather than judgment, uncover the patterns that keep you stuck, and reconnect with your inner wisdom, resilience, and capacity for change. I support lasting transformation through insight, self-compassion, and embodied awareness. My trauma-informed approach integrates art therapy, Jungian psychology, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and embodied practices.
I also offer a Couples Therapy Intensive which is 3 dedicated days of working 1-1 with your relationship, away from daily pressures and distractions, allowing us to gently explore what has been long held, avoided, or misunderstood. This format serves couples who seek depth and continuity, value focused engagement and find weekly therapy insufficient.
I am particularly drawn to long-term therapy, where we have the time to build a trusting relationship and gently explore the patterns, experiences, and ways of being that may no longer serve you. I believe that lasting change happens when we feel safe enough to bring our most vulnerable selves into the room. If this resonates with you, please reach out.

Please note, that many but not all medical aids will pay for art therapy. Please check with your medical aid. Unfortunately GEMS does not currently pay. I am not contracted in to any medial aids so you would need to pay me and then claim your payment back from them.

I create a treatment plan specific to you. Making images in art therapy, working with the body and its symptoms, dream analysis and working with your inner parts are some of my favourite ways to work with you. I offer Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) journeys, which is a safe way to have transpersonal experiences. I also hold awareness of systemic issues which affect the individual psyche.
