Verified

“I work with individuals and couples as a Psychoanalyst and Clinical Psychologist, having had many years of experience in private practice.”

About Me

With many years in private practice, I invite individuals and couples to explore the deeper patterns shaping their lives. As a Psychoanalyst and Clinical Psychologist, I help you make sense of complex feelings and recurring challenges. This work is about understanding what truly drives your experiences. If you are seeking a thoughtful space for insights and lasting change, I offer that possibility. Clients often find greater clarity through this steady exploration.

Approach

Therapy here unfolds through steady, curious attention to the life stories that surface. I offer sessions in Cape Town and via secure online video, conducted in English, that balance reflection with focused exploration. We attend to emotions, recurring patterns and the decisions that follow—through careful listening and interpretive dialogue.. People navigating anxiety, grief, relationship strains or major life transitions often find this pace clarifying and supportive.
