About me
I grew up moving internationally every few years throughout my childhood — Belgium, Germany, the United States, Russia. This upbringing taught me a particular set of lessons: about loss, about starting over, about what it means to feel like you don't quite belong. It also gave me a certain fluency in crossing cultural lines. I understand what it is to mourn a place, to grieve a version of yourself that had to be left behind, and to build a home and community in a culturally unfamiliar place.
I also identify as queer. Being part of the LGBTQIA+ community has given me a close, personal understanding of shame, rejection, and fear that come with belonging to a stigmatized minority.
Through my experiences, I’ve learned to value honest communication, respect and compassion above all. Moreover, my own therapeutic journey has been as formative to my work as any training I've done, and I bring that awareness into every session.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
EFT: Emotionally focused therapyRecommended for couples or individuals who want to strengthen emotional connections in relationships by exploring feelings and attachment.
Person-centered approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
In our sessions, we explore together. We look for patterns: in how you grew up, in the way you move through your daily life, in the stories you tell about yourself, in the emotions that surface. My aim is to help you express, gain insights and make sense of complex and overwhelming experiences, and to figure out the next right step.
My primary approach is Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) — meaning I pay close attention to your present-moment emotional experience and the way different parts of you interact and shape your experience. I also draw on several other therapeutic approaches, so that I can adapt what I use based on what you find most helpful. This is a collaborative process and your feedback is central.
Experience
6 years in practice
I've been working with adult clients in private practice and as part of the mental health care network Stichting 1nP for the past six years. Alongside my clinical work, I am completing a PhD in Psychology at Leiden University, where I investigate the effects and mechanisms of psychedelic substances, including their potential clinical implications.
Education
My formal training includes a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Research Master's in Clinical Psychology, as well as therapeutic training at the mental health clinic PsyQ International, where I worked with adult expats presenting with depression, anxiety, somatic symptom disorder, and ADHD. My post-master specializations include Person-centered Experiential Psychotherapy with an Emotion-Focused specialization, Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and MDMA-Assisted Therapy (MAPS certification).
