My interest in psychology developed from an early curiosity about human behaviour and the psychological processes that shape our thoughts, emotions, and relationships. This interest evolved into a commitment to ethical, evidence-based mental health care.

I completed my Bachelor of Arts degree at UNISA, majoring in Psychology, Anthropology, and Afrikaans, and graduated cum laude. I then completed an Honours degree in Psychology, followed by a Master’s degree in Psychology, also completed cum laude.

During my Master’s training, I contributed to the South African norm studies for the Wechsler Intelligence Scale – Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV). Under the supervision of Prof. Dirk Odendaal, Dr. Ida Pienaar, and Dr. Glynnis Martin, I developed advanced skills in psychological assessment, psychotherapy, and aspects regarding neuropsychology.

I completed my internship at the Psychological Services Centre in East London and am registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). In 2014, I established my private practice in Komani, where I continue to serve the local community.
