"I aim to have all of my clients feeling stronger, more capable, and functioning as well as possible; socially, in their work environment, and within interpersonal relationships."

I am a counseling psychologist with extensive experience working with both adults and adolescents from a variety of backgrounds. As a therapist, I aim to build relationships with my clients through productive sessions using assessment and therapy techniques that have proven effective. 

​

I hope to help clients achieve the best possible outcome for themselves, either through therapy and meeting their own personal goals or through assessment in order to provide them with a better direction in their studies or careers.

My previous work experience in the Counseling and Careers Development Unit at Wits University allowed me to develop a good understanding of what is offered by Universities in South Africa, which informs a lot of my assessment practice. I aim to provide comprehensive reports that are personalized to the individual, and that provide sufficient guidance regarding the client’s career and emotional wellbeing.
