“There is a crack in everything … that’s how the light gets in…“
leonard cohen
I have extensive experience in both group and individual psychotherapy and counselling and have been practicing since 2008 as a therapist in long-term and short-term therapies. I have a background in psychodynamic and depth psychology and am person-focused in my approach. I use an integrative model to include different treatment interventions depending on the needs of my clients. My training and experience have allowed me to practice in a range of cultural contexts, both in South Africa and Canada. I maintain my registration as a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BCACC in Canada and in South Africa as a Clinical Psychologist with the HPCSA (Health Professions Council of South Africa).
At the heart of My practice is meeting the person in front of me as and where they are, and working with them to uncover unhelpful patterns that interfere with their ability to engage fully in life.
I am person-focused, empathic, patient, respectful and present in my work with clients, and am guided by a strong sense of integrity and ethics.
I integrate psychodynamic theory and practice with evidence-based interventions to better understand the client, while equipping them with skills to help them facilitate their own development and growth.
“Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
