About me
Since May 2021, I have been working as a clinical psychologist, supporting people in both difficult life phases and forensic contexts. These experiences have sharpened my ability to attentively understand each person and their unique life story, and to meet everyone with appreciation and compassion.
Over several years, I accompanied families as an AuPair, gaining valuable insights into a variety of life situations, personal turning points, and individual challenges. For extended periods, I have lived in Honduras, the USA, the Netherlands, Germany, and on ships, without a permanent residence. These experiences have familiarized me with a life shaped by frequent changes—where loneliness and a lack of stability were recurring themes.
Thanks to this background, I am able to support expats and people in new, changing, or unstable life situations with understanding, empathy, and expertise.

Approach
Understanding & Appreciation
My therapeutic approach is integrative: I combine methods from different schools and therapies to individually address the needs of my clients. At the core of my work is a psychodynamic understanding of mental health, informed by my psychodynamic training. Central to this approach is the (joint) exploration of unconscious conflicts and relationship dynamics that influence present-day experience and behavior.
This creates a flexible, multifaceted therapeutic process in which new perspectives can emerge and resources are strengthened. I view the therapeutic relationship as a safe, appreciative space where new experiences become possible. Together, we work to recognize individual patterns, resources, and obstacles in order to initiate lasting change. It is important to me to respond flexibly to my clients’ needs and to value different cultural, social, and personal backgrounds. In my work, I make it a priority to listen attentively and to create a space for people to openly share their thoughts and feelings.
