ABOUT ME

I’m a psychologist building my private practice under supervision of a experienced NIP-psychologist. I hold a BSc and MSc degree in Psychology from the University of Amsterdam.

I’m particularly drawn to working with themes of grief, shame, anger, growth, communication, existentiality, neurodiversity, and sexuality. I grew up across multiple cultures, which shaped the way I understand identity, belonging, and the experience of holding different versions of oneself. These are topics I feel closely connected to, both personally and professionally. While every person’s story is unique, having moved through grief and trauma myself helps me meet clients with empathy, steadiness, and respect for the complexity of their journey.

There’s no single formula for therapy — people are too complex for a one-size-fits-all approach. The way I work is grounded in evidence-based research, expertise, and an innate curiosity about how people grow. Depending on what best supports your needs, in our sessions I draw from systemic, humanistic-existential, psychodynamic, or cognitive-behavioural perspectives.

When my therapist hat is off, I enjoy reading, drawing, consuming and making music, spending time with dogs, eating good food, and going down rabbit holes about very niche topics.

HOW I WORK

I believe therapy begins with safety. My goal is always to create space where you can show up as you are, to be understood, seen, and challenged, without fear of judgment. The therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of meaningful change*, and I see it as the foundation of all our work together. Therefore, I spend considerable time exploring our therapist-client dynamic honestly, asking for feedback and making sure you feel safe to speak up whenever needed.

My style is open, warm, and relaxed, often with a touch of humor. I aim to inspire confidence, motivation, concrete tools, and hope, while also recognizing that therapy is just as much about holding space for grief, confusion, and frustration.

I view the mind and body as closely intertwined: emotions and trauma often show up not only in our thoughts, but also in how we breathe, tense, or move through the world. Better understanding of these patterns, and tools to work with them — not against — can help us reconnect with what we feel and need, without forcing or fixing.

I don’t offer formal diagnoses or medical treatment. If I believe a diagnostic process or additional support might be helpful, I discuss this openly and share appropriate referrals or resources.
