About me

I am a licensed psychologist and relationship therapist from the Netherlands, offering online therapy in both English and Dutch.

My work focuses on relationships in all their complexity. I support individuals and couples who struggle with attachment issues, recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, intimacy challenges, trust issues, infidelity, relationship transitions, or a longing for deeper connection. I am particularly passionate about helping people understand the patterns that shape their relationships and finding new ways to connect with themselves and those they love.

I also have extensive experience working with ADHD and its impact on relationships, both professionally and personally. As the partner of someone with ADHD, I understand the challenges that neurodiverse couples can face. Having lived abroad for many years and being in an intercultural marriage myself, I also have a special affinity for working with expat and international couples.

Clients often describe me as warm, grounded and direct. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space where difficult conversations can take place and where vulnerability, understanding and growth can emerge.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
EFT: Emotionally focused therapyRecommended for couples or individuals who want to strengthen emotional connections in relationships by exploring feelings and attachment.
Systemic approachRecommended for those who want to look at how different systems—like family, work, or society—affect their behavior and relationships.

My approach is rooted in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment theory and client-centered therapy. I believe that our need for connection is one of the most fundamental human needs. When connection feels threatened, we can become stuck in patterns of conflict, distance, criticism, withdrawal or loneliness.

In therapy, we look beyond the surface of these patterns and explore the emotions, needs and attachment longings underneath. Together, we identify what keeps you stuck and create new experiences of emotional safety, openness and connection.

The client-centered foundation of my work means that I strive to create a relationship based on empathy, authenticity and acceptance. I believe that meaningful change happens when people feel truly seen, understood and supported.

When working with couples, we focus on strengthening emotional bonds, improving communication and restoring connection. Whether you are facing conflict, emotional distance, intimacy challenges or major life transitions, therapy can help you create a more secure, fulfilling and resilient relationship.
