About Me
I am a dedicated and compassionate professional with a strong background in crisis intervention and support services for survivors of sexual violence, domestic violence, and gender-based violence. With a deep commitment to mental health and well-being, I specialize in providing counseling and support to those who have experienced trauma, empowering them on their journey towards healing and recovery.
My extensive experience and training have been shaped by training with renowned organizations such as the Rape Crisis Cape Town Trust and the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG), South Africa's only national suicide hotline. Through these partnerships, I have gained invaluable insights into the intricacies of trauma support and crisis management.
My academic background further complements my practical experience, as I majored in Psychology and Women and Gender Studies at the University of the Western Cape. This multidisciplinary foundation equips me with a holistic understanding of the complex dynamics of gender-based violence and the unique needs of survivors.
I am deeply committed to the well-being and empowerment of survivors and individuals seeking support for their mental health. My services encompass a wide range of interventions, with a focus on compassion, resilience, and personal growth, to help individuals regain control of their lives and find hope in the face of adversity.

In addition to my direct counseling services, I offer comprehensive training and development programs, including first responder training in crisis intervention. These programs are tailored to empower individuals, professionals, and organizations to effectively respond to crisis situations and provide crucial support to survivors.
