“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”
- Carl Jung

I obtained my Master of Social Sciences in Clinical Psychology degree at the University of the Free State. During my training, I learned how to administer psychological assessments for scholastic, career counseling, and diagnostic purposes. I was exposed to various modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), play therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, and REBT. I was also involved in the Multidisciplinary team (MDT) at A psychiatric hospital.

I completed my internship at 1 Military Hospital and the Free State Psychiatric Complex (FSPC). My training at 1 Military Hospital involved rotation in the medical, neuropsychological, psychiatric, and child units. I was exposed to and gained experience in administering psychological assessments, report writing (medical boarding, neuropsychology, psychiatric/diagnostic, child cognitive and emotional), crisis intervention, and the management of mild to complex psychopathology.

My internship at FSPC complemented the training I received at 1 Military Hospital. At FSPC I honed my therapeutic skills and learned how to work with complex psychiatric presentations and medical presentations. I was exposed to the child (inpatient & outpatient), OPD, Liaison (inpatient interventions at a tertiary/academic hospital), and forensic units. I also gained experience in assessing and managing individuals who want to undergo gender reassignment (gender affirming care). In addition, my training included forensic assessment of state patients and report writing, as well as individual and group therapy.

Following my internship, I completed my community service at Albert Nzula District Hospital (Trompsburg) where I managed the psychology department. I provided services to the patients in the hospital and the surrounding towns in the district. I also worked collaboratively with other departments and clinics to raise awareness on mental health. I further conducted both individual and group therapy.

Outside of my role as a psychologist, I enjoy outdoor activities and trying new sports. I also love advocacy work.
