I’m passionate about people’s ability to reclaim their lives from problems and discover their preferred ways of living. It’s a privilege to be a witness to clients unfolding stories. I create a safe space for clients to discover what they prefer for their life and support them in taking steps that create this preferred reality. I view my role as a collaborative partner working with clients to improve their mental health.

I obtained my Masters degree in Clinical Psychology with distinction at the North-West University. I worked for the Defence force for the first few years after qualifying and here developed an interest in treating trauma through working with military personnel. Hereafter I was employed by the University of Stellenbosch and provided psychotherapy to students, including those at Tygerberg medical campus. I developed a passion for supporting medical health professionals in psychotherapy.

I have also received training in BWRT, Resource therapy, TRE (Trauma and tension release exercises) and EMDR. Furthermore I draw from Solution focused therapy, Narrative therapy and CBT principles in my approach to therapy. I work eclectically by selecting therapeutic tools based on the individual’s unique needs.
