About me

Born in Germany, I have moved to the Netherlands for my psychology degree and have stayed ever since. As an International abroad, I have experienced many of the unique challenges and difficulties an expat faces and therefore am able to provide support for anyone in similar circumstances. In my therapy, I want to create a safe space, in which anyone is welcome and appreciated and where a respectful and non-judgmental interaction is ensured. I use an integrative approach, where I focus on the unique needs of my clients. Please feel free to contact me and we can schedule a free 15 minute consultation session in order to find out whether I meet your needs and expectations. I am looking forward to meeting you.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
As a clinical psychologist, I mainly make use of the CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) approach. I do however work in an integrative way, including different approaches in my therapy, shaped depending on the client´s individual needs. I believe that every individual´s needs are unique and support the idea that an integrative approach is the most adequate in order to meet them. During my work at a psychiatric clinic in Berlin, I had the chance to work mainly with patients, suffering from substance abuse. I therefore have quite a good insight into this particular field. Additionally, I have educated myself quite thoroughly on BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) and DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy), as BPD has quite a high comorbidity with substance abuse disorders.
