About Me

I support individuals, children, and families navigating life's complex challenges. When trauma creates back flashes or mental blocks, I use EMDR to gently process these moments. For children, play therapy offers a safe space to voice big feelings. My approach also addresses family dynamics and legal social work for custody. I aim to create a clear path toward healing and stability.

Approach

When memories or stuck moments surface, I guide gentle, paced interventions that help you feel safer and regain choice. From my Vanderbijlpark office, in English or Afrikaans, sessions are relaxed yet structured and paced to suit children and adults. Work often blends targeted processing with creative expression for younger clients, while clinical assessment shapes collaborative steps and brief between-session tasks test new responses. This steady, practical way of working suits parents, adolescents and adults navigating trauma, custody concerns or relational stress.
