I lived and worked in South Africa, both in Johannesburg and Cape Town, where I worked as a Social Worker before I became a Clinical Psychologist and then started private practices after working in general, mental hospitals, and community service settings. In South Africa, Clinical Psychologists were privileged to experience a variety of work settings and therefore could accumulate experience over a broad field. For instance, I worked in a Psychiatric hospital (Sterkfontein Psychiatric Training Hospital) as intern, then a General Hospital serving a variety of physiological ails as a Clinical Psychologist doing psychological assessments, therapy as well as gave lectures. I then worked in the Department of Child Psychiatry, Tygerberg Training Hospital, where I gained great awareness and insight in developmental problems and parental challenges.

Johannesburg) prompted my interest in primary prevention programs and triggered my search for meaning of cultural suffering which opened the door to my personal research in archetypes.

Clientele who approached my private practice indicated a need for guidance an insight about solving intimate and cross cultural relationship conflicts. I understand the challenges of developmental stages and how we evolve in our healing, growth and consciousness.

The most important realization to me is that we are Human Beings with an integrated Mind, Body, Soul and Spirit-system, in search of healing and development.

blue birdMind describes our cognitive abilities that relate to acquiring knowledge through conscious and unconscious perception, intuition and reasoning.

Soul describes our heartfelt feelings and emotions and refers to our mood, sentiment and reactions.

Body refers to the physiological and chemical structure, composition, properties, and reactive characteristics on the atomic and molecular levels.

Spirit refers to our sense of having a vital life force that characterizes our connectedness to the whole of existence.

This practice is eclectic in its orientation and uses a combination of Cognitive, Behavioral, Emotionally Focused and Energy Psychological Psychotherapy Approaches for problems such as:

My focus is to help you free yourself from emotional holding patterns through an integrative psychological service that address your problem on all the levels of your being.

"It is easier to perceive error than to find truth, for the former lies on the surface and is easily seen, while the latter lies in the depth, where few are willing to search for it"

Metamorphosis has no logical language. We are aware of eighty-four thousand doors opening for us as we feel and hear our authentic hearts when our souls transform through a process of spiritual alchemy.
