I was led to this work by a nagging empathy for vulnerable children and young people. I have worked with at-risk children, young people and their families in South Africa and the United Kingdom. Finding myself in various non-profit organizations, I have gained experience providing psychosocial services to marginalized people groups. This cemented my pursuit of professional training as a psychologist. As part of my training and professional development, I have worked in the higher education setting, helping university students with career decisions, exploring their academic needs and supporting them through the journey of self-actualization in early adulthood.

As a young professional, I then worked for a non-profit organization that provides mental health services to a vibrant yet underserved township. This work was focused on preventative mental health interventions that look at the family and the parent-child relationship as foundational to building psychological well-being throughout the lifespan. I have experience working in the remedial school setting as a learning support specialist. Central to this part of my work has been collaborating with other professionals and specialists to provide holistic care for neurodiverse children and their families.

I am a psychodynamically orientated psychologist and child psychotherapist. Through psychotherapy and psychological assessments, I provide private services that look to encourage the development of children’s capabilities and strengths. I also provide psychotherapy to adolescents, young adults, parents and families with a wide range of difficulties and struggles. In my work with those in distress, I aim to provide a thinking space that is a conduit for emotional and psychological growth.
