I am a qualified Educational Psychologist with a Master’s degree MEd (Educational Psychology) from Wits University. I am registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) as well as the Board of Healthcare Funders (BHF).
I have 15 years’ experience working with children and their families in a variety of settings including Private Practice, non-profit organisation and schools. Within the mentioned systems, I specialize in social emotional assessment of children, voice of the child assessments, primary residency and contact investigations, parent-child attachment evaluations, and reunification/bonding therapy.

Another passion of mine is parenting and is 2015, I became an internationally Certified Parent Effectiveness Training facilitator with Gordon Training International. My personal mission with regards to parenting is to help parents communicate/ relate to their children better as I believe that “there is no single effort more radical in its potential for saving the world, than in a transformation of the way we raise our children.” – Marianne Williamson.
