I work predominantly with children, adolescents and families and I prefer to work holistically as therapy occurs once a week but the person needs to continue living his or her life outside the therapy room also. I believe all people have potential to be the best version of themselves; sometimes they need some assistance discovering and working towards that.
Areas of special interest: assessments (psycho-educational, psycho-legal, career, school readiness, etc), working with children and families from divorced homes and children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity (ADHD) and other neuro-developmental conditions. I can claim directly from most medical aids according to medical aid rates. Online/ in-person
