My interests include mood and anxiety disorders, stress, relationship issues and trauma. I offer in-person and online therapy with adults.

About Me

I am an experienced clinical psychologist in Oranjezicht, Cape Town, South Africa. My areas of interest include assisting adults with stress, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and trauma. I also work with people who face general life challenges or who would like to seek guidance regarding personal or relationship development. As a therapist with an extensive career in both in-patient and out-patient settings as well as the NPO sector, I am well placed to offer education, referrals and support to a wide range of people who face mental health challenges and to assist families. I am fluent in English and Afrikaans and offer in-person as well as online therapy.

Approach

In collaboration with my clients, I move between focused skill-building and paced exploration. Sessions from my Cape Town office or online, in English or Afrikaans, are conversational and practical, with clear goals set together. I believe in meeting people where they are at and to work at a pace which feels safe and comfortable. We will explore communication, grounding, emotional regulation, breathing and new self‑care strategies. This approach suits adults and couples seeking assistance through life challenges, loss, burnout or relational change.
