About

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist based in Noordhoek, Cape Town in the Western Cape.

I provide a range of clinical and therapeutic services and work with individuals of all ages and life stages.

Before entering the mental health field, I worked in the media and advertising industry for more than 20 years. Through my engagement with people and extensive travel I learnt invaluable skills that I have brought into my work. I also developed a keen interest in people and how they relate to others, which led to my entry in the field of Psychology.
