Verified

“I am a Clinical Psychologist providing thoughtful and compassionate psychotherapy to Individuals. I provide Individual Psychotherapy to Adult patients, focusing on mental wellness, insight and personal growth. ”

About Me

I am registered Clinical Psychologist working in private practice in Milnerton. I provide individual psychotherapy to adult patients facing emotional, behavioural and/or relational difficulties. I work collaboratively with patients to address the challenges they bring to therapy. This is done by offering you a professional, non-judgemental and safe therapeutic space where we can explore the past, present and future with a curious and compassionate lens.

Approach

“ The more versions of you that are present in the therapy, the more versions of you will heal and integrate and become whole” - Danna Bodenheimer My therapeutic approach is grounded in a psychodynamic framework. This means we explore and unpack how your significant relationships have impacted how you experience yourself, others, your circumstances, and the world. In addition to exploring your current difficulties, we also look at how certain patterns of thinking, behaving and relating may contribute to a lack of satisfaction in your life. At times, this may mean acknowledging what was, mourning what could have been, and looking forward to what can be.
