About me
I am a clinical psychologist with a deep passion for helping people find calm, confidence, and clarity in their lives. With roots in both the Philippines and the Netherlands, and a background shaped by international education, I bring a culturally aware and inclusive approach to therapy.
I understand how challenging it can be to navigate stress, anxiety, or uncertainty, especially when you're balancing multiple roles, identities, or environments. Clients often come to me when they feel overwhelmed by self-doubt, social interactions, work pressure, or the constant need to “keep it all together.” My role is to help you explore these patterns, understand where they come from, and learn how to respond differently. This way you can stop feeling stuck frozen or overwhelmed and start navigating your life in the way you envisioned it.
I hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Utrecht University and a Bachelor’s in Social Sciences (with concentrations in psychology, biomedical sciences, and cognitive science). I am also a member of the Netherlands Institute of Psychologists (NIP).
Whether you’re dealing with persistent overthinking, burnout, low self-esteem, or a difficult transition, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Together, we’ll work toward real, sustainable change.
My core specialties are:
Social anxiety – fear of judgment, overanalyzing social interactions, difficulty relaxing around others
Work-related anxiety & burnout – constant pressure to prove yourself, fear of failure or being “found out,” struggling to unplug
Overthinking & chronic worry – looping thoughts about the past or future, catastrophizing, racing mind
Low self-esteem – feeling “not good enough,” self-doubt, fear of being a burden
Emotional overwhelm – difficulty regulating mood, irritability, or frequent emotional ups and downs
My subspecialties are:
Cultural adjustment
Academic stress
Addictive behaviours
Life transitions
Loneliness and disconnection

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
Group therapyRecommended for those who want to work through their challenges in a supportive group setting and learn from others who share similar experiences.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
I individualise each treatment depending on the specific needs of each client, as I believe it to be extremely important in achieving the best positive outcome.
Though I am trained at CBT, I actively participate in trainings and seminars and have become well-versed in different and new evidence based approaches, such as; Schema therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and compassion focused therapy.
I truly believe there is no 'one size fits all' to therapy, so I apply strategies and techniques from these different approaches depending on what you might need and the issues you are specifically facing.
