ABOUT

I am a Clinical Psychologist with more than two decades of experience working across private practice, psychiatric hospitals, rehabilitation centres, and multidisciplinary healthcare teams. 

My work is grounded in creating a therapeutic space that feels safe, open, structured, and growth-driven. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, and BWRT. I tailor each intervention to the unique needs of the individual, couple, family, or group I am working with.

Over the years, I have worked in Bloemfontein, Prieska, and now Stellenbosch, serving in settings such as Bloemcare, MediClinic, Rosepark Hospital, Aurora Drug & Rehabilitation, Bloemendal Clinic, and Nurture Physical Rehab Centre.

 

I value honesty, collaboration, and reflective practice, and I believe deeply in the power of long-term, meaningful transformation. 

​

In addition to my clinical work, I spent more than a decade running Prieska Aquatics, where I coached children and teenagers and worked closely with schools, parents, and the Northern Cape Swimming Association. This experience strengthened my passion for youth development, resilience-building, and helping children grow into their strengths.

​

Outside of my professional role, I am a mother of teenage twins, an outdoor person at heart, and someone who enjoys learning, crafting, and creating structure in both my personal and professional life. I aim to bring these values — balance, growth, authenticity, and care — into every therapeutic relationship.

​

My work is guided by a simple goal:
to create a positive, safe, and productive space where meaningful change becomes possible.
