My Expertise: Neurodiversity, Eating Disorders & Trauma
I was diagnosed with AuDHD at age 50 – after 26 years of practicing as a clinical psychologist. That personal revelation transformed how I understand and support neurodivergent individuals.
As one of fewer than five Maudsley/Family-Based Treatment certified practitioners in South Africa, I combine clinical expertise with lived experience. I specialize in eating disorders, trauma, and neurodiversity – helping people understand their brains aren't broken, just different. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies including DBT, CBT, BWRT, and Family-Based Treatment, tailored to each person's unique needs. Whether you're seeking clinical psychology services, life coaching, or educational resources through my books and courses, I meet you where you are.
