"The brain is highly structured, but it is also extremely flexible. It's not a blank slate, but it isn't written in stone, either."
Alison Gopnik
ABOUT ME
I am a Clinical Neuropsychologist and the founder of NeuroHub, a centre for neuropsychology and neurodiversity. I am based at Optima RustenVrede Hospital in Stellenbosch, as well as in Loevenstein, Bellville, where I work as part of the Wellness Collective Multi-Discipline Practice.
​
My work focuses on diagnostic neuropsychology in the context of neurodevelopmental, psychiatric, and medical conditions that impact cognition and behaviour. I also specialise in supporting neurodivergent individuals across the lifespan.
​
Having trained across a range of clinical settings and sectors, I’ve had the privilege of working in complex, richly diverse environments. This experience continues to shape my approach - grounded in empathy, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s unique brain and life story. I am passionate about collaborative, client-centred care and feel honoured to be part of this dynamic and meaningful field.
EXPERIENCE
I obtained my Master's Degree in Neuropsychology cum laude at the University of Cape Town, after which I completed my internship at Groote Schuur Hospital and Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital. I then entered private practice as well as worked at a school for learners with Autism for approximately three years. Concurrently, I was a lecturer in Neuropsychology at Pearson Institute of Higher Education. I have a special interest and training in Neurodiversity. I now form part of a multidisciplinary team where I use my experience to work with individuals of all ages, from diverse backgrounds, with a variety of neuropsychological impairments and/or neurodevelopmental conditions (e.g., ADHD, Autism, etc.)
