About me
I’m a Clinical Psychologist originally from Johannesburg, South Africa, now living and practicing in the Netherlands. My approach to therapy is grounded in warmth, curiosity, and many years of experience supporting people through both everyday struggles and deeply complex life challenges. Over the years, I’ve worked in public psychiatric hospitals, private clinics, and outpatient settings walking alongside individuals as they navigate mental health conditions, grief, trauma, identity, relationship difficulties, workplace stressors and major life transitions. My background in social work complements my training as a psychologist and has strengthened my ability to offer practical, solution-focused support when it’s needed, especially in shorter-term or more goal-oriented work.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
DBT: Dialectical Behavior Therapy Recommended for those who want to learn skills to manage intense emotions and improve their relationships, especially if they feel easily overwhelmed.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
My therapeutic approach is holistic and person-centered, aiming to support the whole individual - emotionally, psychologically, and within their broader life context. I generally like to begin with a complimentary 15 minute consultation, where we can meet and get to know one another, think together about your needs and discuss the therapy process.
I tailor therapy to meet each person's unique needs and circumstances. I draw from a range of evidence-based methods, including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Gestalt Therapy, and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. I believe that therapy should be a space where you feel heard, supported, and free to explore what matters most to you. Healing can be difficult and I've come to appreciate the importance of having someone walk that journey with you. I take care to shape the process around each person’s unique experience, pace and needs.
Experience
I have over 8 years of experience supporting clients with a broad range of emotional, relational and mental health concerns. Now, in my private practice, I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, and major life transitions. My focus is on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to work through their challenges at their own pace.
My previous experience includes working in three of the major public hospitals in Johannesburg, South Africa. Additionally, I have worked in private healthcare settings providing family support, group therapy and individual counselling to in and out-patients.
