“A safe space to gently begin to face difficulties, get to know your inner world, take more charge of it, and find your own direction.”

About Me

I trained as a Clinical Psychologist at Stellenbosch University. I completed my internship at Lentegeur Psychiatric Hospital and completed my community service at Drakenstein Correctional Facility. I've been practicing for 10 years, consulting at Akeso where I saw in-patients and now focusing on seeing adults, teens and families in my private practice.
