About Me
Tender-hearted and deeply curious, I have long been drawn to the questions that accompany suffering, meaning, and the mystery of being alive.
With a love of learning, I completed my professional counselling training with distinction and later undertook a two-year programme in mindfulness-based interventions for health professionals.
An early encounter with death sparked a lifelong inquiry into our deeper questions, leading me to explore diverse spiritual traditions and ways of understanding the world. For the past fifteen years, I have maintained a meditation practice and continue to enjoy contemplating wisdom teachings from diverse contexts. I flourish in beautiful spaces and find solace in ‘the peace of wild things.’ Grief and gratitude are close companions, reminding me to honour the depth and mystery of this rich experience we call life.
I find purpose in being a therapeutic presence and cultivate a quiet courage to remain with what is unresolved and unfinished. Grounded in curiosity and compassion, I strive to meet the messy, the marvellous, and the maleficent with imagination, humility, and openness.
I cherish the opportunity to support others in having deeper and more meaningful conversations with themselves and their lives. My approach is inspired by the work of psychotherapists, such as Thomas Moore, James Hillman, Bill Plotkin, Francis Weller and C. G. Jung, and is informed by a deep appreciation for poetry, imagination, archetypal imagery, and the art of storytelling.
I live among trees and urban rumble in Newlands with my husband, our cherished daughter, and our two delightful pooches.
