About Me
I am a mental health blogger and journalist, passionate about using words to explore complex experiences. With 12 years of professional writing, I focus on issues affecting women, POC, and LGBTQIA+ communities. I openly share my personal journey with trauma, PTSD, grief, and panic disorder. This direct, lived-experience approach creates a truly relatable space. Readers can find connection and feel deeply understood in their own struggles.
Approach
Words guide how I hold sessions: we pay close attention to language, phrasing and the stories you tell so painful fragments can be noticed, named and reshaped. In Cape Town I work in person, pairing gentle inquiry with short, evidence-minded writing exercises and research-informed reflections you can try between meetings. Sessions move at your pace—sometimes quiet, sometimes investigative—and I help you track patterns, test small changes and build clearer self-narratives. People who value honest, word-forward exploration often find this way of working steady and practical.
