I am a registered Clinical Psychologist with experience in working with adolescents, adults, couples and families. I trained in South Africa and worked in private practice in Cape Town for 15 years with a wide range of clients. I have lived and worked in Auckland for the past 3 years.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mentalization-based therapy, psychodynamic therapy and family-systems therapy form the core of my clinical training. In my experience real, long-lasting change is created in the context of a trusting therapeutic relationship in which the distress can be understood and worked out.
I am interested in working with a range of experiences including anxiety, depression, workplace stress and family conflict.
I work part of the time at Marinoto DHB and part of the time in private practice at at Apollo Medical Centre in Rosedale, near Albany.
