About me
I am a Counselling Psychologist, registered with both the HPCSA and BHF, and have been counselling for over 10 years. It has been the greatest privilege and blessing to fulfil my calling to be a Psychologist and work with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families in private practice. I aim to create a felt sense of safety for every client who walks through my door so that they feel seen, heard and accepted for who they are, so that they can find the support that they need to move forward in their lives.

My Approach
My Approach
I am very passionate about human development across the lifespan, the brain, and healthy family systems. Healthy attachment from birth with emotionally safe and present caregivers sets us up for a healthy relationship with ourselves and others throughout our lives. When we have a felt sense of safety and unconditional worth and value from birth, we know that we are deserving of healthy relationships and good things in our life and believe in our ability to learn and grow. This helps us to better regulate our own nervous systems and allows us to be resilient in the face of life’s inevitable challenges. I like to think of every setback in life as an opportunity to reflect, find out what we can learn from the experience, and grow so that we do not become stuck in the same painful cycles over and over again.
