About
I am a Clinical Psychologist working primarily within South Africa’s public mental healthcare system, with experience across inpatient and outpatient settings, severe psychiatric illness, trauma, addiction, and youth mental health. My clinical work is grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy, and shaped by a deep belief in the healing potential of relational work, historical formulation, and culturally responsive care.
