Originally from South Africa, I lived and traveled abroad, had a variety of interesting and not so interesting jobs, met people from all walks of life, and always felt destined to become a therapist. In my free time I love spending time with my daughter, running, nature, and creative writing. Please feel free to reach out to see if we may be a good fit.
As a trauma focused therapist, I am somatically focused and utilize EMDR and IFS. Interested in all things human, I have experience in working with trauma, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, and relationship difficulties. My primary interests are in childhood trauma and grief. I am certified in EMDR and trained in IFS Level 1 & 2.
I am curious about my clients, about getting to know them. Human relationships are by nature dynamic and can be complex, and these are the very things that draw me to therapy. Being person centered is important to me, which means meeting you where you are “at” and creating a safe space by showing unconditional positive regard. I am authentic in my relationships and can be direct. I am growth and insight oriented and like to learn with my clients.
