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.
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. I have special interest in sexuality, gender, and major life changes that influence our identity and self-esteem.
If you are considering therapy for the first time, it may feel unfamiliar and intimidating. Or you may be hoping for a different therapeutic experience to one you've had before. I invite you to reach out and share your expectations and concerns with me, and we can explore whether working together may be the right fit for you.

Sometimes people seek help because they feel overwhelmed, distressed, or stuck; at other times there may simply be a wish to understand themselves more deeply or to grow in new ways. Some people attend for a shorter period focused on a particular difficulty, while others engage in longer-term psychotherapy that allows for deeper exploration and change.

My approach is primarily psychodynamic, which considers how present difficulties may be connected to patterns, experiences, and relationships that exist both inside and outside of our awareness. I integrate ideas and techniques from other therapeutic approaches where these may support your individual needs.
