I'm a 30 year old, Canadian living in the Netherlands for the past 8+ years. I have done my BSc in Psychology at the VU Amsterdam and finished my MSc in Clinical Psychology at Erasmus University Rotterdam. I have worked as a therapist/counselor in Cape Town, South Africa which exposed me to working with diverse groups of people. I have finished my Master's thesis on mindfulness practice and its effects on students in regards to burnout and fatigue and also am on the track to becoming a licensed mindfulness trainer. However, I am also trained in motivational interviewing, ACT, and CBT with a constant drive to keep learning. I know how hard it is to find a young, relatable therapist especially in times when one is really needed. I strive to be the therapist that makes you feel the most comfortable and also the one that can help in a way that best works for you.

I believe that having a great therapeutic relationship is really important for a good outcome in therapy. With my education and work experience, I aim to be the psychologist that doesn't recite word for word what they learned in university textbooks but one that integrates therapeutic techniques into tailored sessions all while making it feel natural and comfortable for the client.
