About Me

I guide adult individuals and couples to explore the deeper dynamics shaping their lives and relationships. We'll collaboratively make sense of recurring patterns and how past experiences influence your present. This process helps you gain clarity, fostering new ways to connect with yourself and others. This approach offers profound insight for those navigating complex feelings or relationship challenges.

Approach

Whether you're navigating life transitions or seeking insights into complex emotions, my practice in Durban offers a supportive space to explore these challenges. As a Clinical Psychologist, I draw on my MA from the University of KwaZulu-Natal to provide psychotherapy, family therapy, and clinical supervision. Together, we'll delve into the dynamics influencing your relationships and well-being. Offering both in-person and remote sessions, I?m here to help you uncover clarity and foster meaningful connections, whether you?re facing anxiety, grief, or mood disorders. Let's embark on this journey together
