Licensed Clinical Psychologists

“Has experiences in acute and chronic mental illness. Mental health advocate.”

About Me

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, she guides individuals through the complexities of acute and chronic mental illness. Her extensive experience means she deeply understands the unique challenges of long-term conditions. She helps clients find stability and new ways to cope. As a dedicated mental health advocate, she champions your well-being. She fosters a safe space where difficult experiences can be openly explored. This compassionate approach is ideal for anyone seeking sustained, understanding support.

Approach

Years supporting people with severe and long-term conditions shape how I structure therapy: steady, collaborative and goal-focused. Sessions in Midrand are offered in English, Sesotho, Xitsonga, seTswana or isiZulu, with space for focused assessment or trauma-focused exploration when needed. We alternate structured assessment, reflective work and practical coping strategies, tracking progress and adapting between sessions with brief tasks or check-ins so changes feel manageable. This approach suits adolescents, adults, couples and families seeking sustained, practical support.
