About me
Clients appreciate my empathy, loving attention and presence. Partly because I grew up with two cultures, I can meet you with openness and understanding of your individuality. You are welcome as you are. I am like a grounding rock next to you, allowing you to safely go through the process of self-discovery. My interactions combine intuition, body awareness, empathy, and intellectual knowledge.
After working for ten years in various organisations as advisor, consultant, trainer and coach, I've evolved into working with people in 1-1 setting as a therapist.
I am a firm believer in human potential, the wisdom of the subconscious and our bodies. I enjoy working with people on their healing or expansive path towards a life that feels free and true to who they really are. I work in a GP's office as in-house psychologist, in my own practice, and in organisations.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
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.
Somatic ExperiencingRecommended for those who want to use the mind-body connection to address the effects of trauma and restore natural regulation of the nervous system.
Clients come to me for a variety of issues.
-You get stuck in situations, feelings, thoughts and behaviors that do not serve you.
- Things feel like too much or out of your control – and this causes stress. You want to deal better with ADHD or want to prevent burnout.
- You want more meaningful relationships and communication with others.
- You don't know exactly what's wrong. You want to feel more alive and be more in touch with yourself.
I work as an Integrative Counselor and Body-Mind therapist.
Both approaches are client-centered, which means that each client receives a customised plan that fits his or her unique situation.
I am trained in the integrative tradition of coaching and counseling at the Dutch Academy for Psychotherapy. This approach is based on the core belief that the client naturally has all the necessary capacities within them to live a good life. It is about restoring the connection with what has been lost. Techniques used are informed by psycho-dynamic approaches, positive psychology, Jungian, and solution-oriented schools.
I have also been trained in the Grinberg method by Barbara Droubay (Berlin) as a body-mind therapist, which has have provided me with the ability to track emotional patterns in the body. Many of our internal processes and patterns (behavioral, emotional, cognitive) start in our subconscious. This means that they are not (yet) accessible to your conscious mind. Fortunately, there is also our intelligent body that keeps score for us. The body remembers everything and shows where your life force is no longer flowing.

Therapy, for me, is a shared journey. I see my role as a witness, a companion, and, when needed, someone who can offer practical tools. My work is grounded in self-compassion, acceptance, skill-building, and mindfulness.
