An engaging, thoughtful and warm-hearted clinical psychologist working with adolescents (16 and over) and adults.

About Me

I am an engaging, thoughtful, and warm-hearted clinical psychologist. I work with adolescents (16 and over) and adults, offering a supportive space to explore your concerns. Together, we can gently unpack challenges and discover new ways forward. Clients seeking a compassionate and steady presence will find a good match. Our sessions are tailored to your unique pace, fostering genuine self-discovery.

Approach

Conversations are steady and paced to your needs, helping us move from feeling stuck toward clearer choices and deeper self-understanding. I offer sessions in Cape Town and online in English, creating an accessible space where practical tools and thoughtful reflection meet. In session we track patterns, name emotions, gently try new ways of relating and coping—often using brief reflections and focused tasks between meetings, with careful attention to safety when trauma or strong anger arise. Those facing anxiety, loss, relationship strain or young adult transitions often find this collaborative rhythm reassuring.
