Psychologist

verified by TherapyRoute

“Practicing internationally from Amsterdam, I provide private, integrative therapy and counseling for individuals and couples looking for a comprehensive, person-focused therapeutic experience.”

About Me

People often contact me when something personal has become too difficult to manage on their own, a relationship that keeps falling into the same painful patterns, a self-defeating behaviour that feels hard to change, a long period of anxiety, low mood, self-doubt, or inner conflict that has been impacting their daily life. Working with a broad range of international clients, I tailor my ACT-based approach to each person's background and lived experience, helping individuals and couples understand what is keeping them stuck and begin making workable, life-enhancing shifts.

Approach

Practicing a deeply supportive Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approach, I specialize in personalized, evidence-based solutions designed to fit into your everyday life. I work with hard-to-break patterns, relationship difficulties, and co-occurring issues, including anxiety, depression, self-confidence, and many other personal challenges. In between sessions, I maintain an open line of communication through text and email. This tool is there for you to practice sharing insights and dilemmas and sustain motivation, ensuring that your process remains active outside of our formal sessions as well. This collaborative therapeutic experience means gaining a new perspective on yourself, your capacities, and what change can be like. It’s about gently releasing limiting self-concepts, improving your cognitive and behavioral skills, and developing a sense of self-confidence that feels both empowering and authentic.
