“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”

Maria Robinson

As a registered social worker, I am deeply committed and passionate about providing a safe, compassionate, and inclusive environment for healing within my private practice. With a prideful dedication, I offer clients a sanctuary—a space where safety, warmth, and nurturing abound, fostering growth and resilience. Grounded in my belief in the transformative power of therapy, I employ a diverse array of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, trauma-informed care, strength-based approaches, mindfulness-based techniques, solution-focused therapy, and recovery-oriented practices. This holistic approach ensures that clients receive tailored support that addresses their unique needs and circumstances. Embracing an intersectional and anti-oppressive framework, I recognize the importance of understanding the complex layers of identity and experience that shape individuals’ lives.

My practice is rooted in an anti-feminist approach that challenges systems of oppression and advocates for gender equality and justice. My journey as a black immigrant woman, having navigated through numerous life challenges, fuels my empathy and understanding of the struggles faced by others. Drawing from my background and education in psychotherapy, I am driven to empower women by providing them with tools to navigate their own paths to healing and fulfillment. Fluent in both English, Siswati, Zulu and Ndebele I ensure accessibility for a diverse range of clients, offering therapy in their preferred language. My multilingual proficiency reflects my commitment to inclusivity and cultural competence. In my practice, every client is welcomed with open arms, embraced with empathy, and empowered to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth. Through my unwavering dedication and compassionate approach, I want to be a beacon of hope and healing for those seeking support on their path to wellness.
