About Me

I support individuals facing complex mental health challenges, including co-occurring addiction and trauma. My extensive experience spans both public and private care. I offer a grounded approach whether you seek voluntary or involuntary support. Using practical techniques like BWRT, I help shift unhelpful patterns. My goal is to provide a safe space to explore difficult experiences and find your unique path towards stability and healing.

Approach

Across hospital and community settings, therapy unfolds as a practical, goal-focused collaboration tailored for complex trauma and addiction recovery. Sessions in Cape Town and online shift between calm containment, targeted skill practice and careful exploration of distressing memories, with pacing set to your tolerance. I combine brief recursive interventions with reflective psychotherapy so you can spot unhelpful patterns, rehearse different responses and build stability between sessions through manageable tasks. Those managing substance use and trauma often find this steady, practical pace supports lasting change.
