Feeling truly seen can be transformative, and this is at the heart of my therapeutic approach. 

I work psychodynamically to help clients gain a deep understanding of their ways of relating and being in the world. By acknowledging all parts of oneself with honesty and compassion, we can cultivate meaningful and lasting change.

Prior to earning my Master’s in Clinical Psychology, I worked as a Biokineticist, where my interest in the mind and its connection to the body first began. This curiosity led me to pursue further studies in psychology. I subsequently completed my internship and community service at several state hospitals in the Johannesburg area, gaining valuable experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, working with groups and individuals.

I am dedicated to building a therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, empathy, and collaboration. This type of relationship fosters a warm, non-judgmental space where thoughts, feelings, and experiences can be safely explored. I provide individual and couples therapy for adults navigating a range of mental health concerns. While I am qualified to work with people of all ages, my focus is on supporting adults, with a particular interest in the parent-infant relationship.

Parent-Infant Psychotherapy (PIP) is a specialised approach designed to nurture the emotional and relational development of infants and their caregivers. In the early months and years, a baby’s emotional and physical health is closely linked to the bond formed with their primary caregivers. PIP focuses on strengthening this vital connection by helping parents better understand and respond to their infant’s emotional signals and needs in ways that promote healthy development. 


Sessions are 50 minutes each and are billed at medical aid rates.

Services

  • Individual Adult Psychotherapy provides a confidential and supportive environment for addressing a wide range of mental health challenges. Tailored to each individual's needs, therapy sessions offer a space to explore issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and workplace stress.

  • Centered on attachment, Parent-Infant Psychotherapy delves into the bond between caregiver and infant, aiming to enhance the caregiver's understanding of the infant's cues and expressions, fostering sensitive responsiveness and a secure attachment. This therapeutic approach entails collaborative sessions held in the therapy office, where the primary caregiver and infant engage on a mat, encouraging interaction and exploration.
