About Me
My path into psychology grew from a deep interest in human potential and well-being. Alongside my own journey of self-discovery, I have developed a strong commitment to supporting others in their own exploration and growth.
Professional Framework
I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, which makes me an MSc Psychologist, or commonly referred to in practice as a “basispsycholoog” in the Netherlands. I work independently as a non-medical practitioner under Dutch law, without providing diagnoses or clinical treatment. More information on what this means for you is available on my FAQ page.
I live in between cultures.
I am an expat myself, with over 8 years of experience navigating life in a different country and cultural contexts. Over the past decade, I have lived in 5 cities and 9 homes across 2 countries. Both my personal and professional life are rooted in this multicultural reality: I am in a multicultural marriage, my family is spread across 5 countries, my friendships span the world, and I have experience in international work environments. These experiences have challenged me to reflect on questions of identity, belonging, and adaptation.
Curiosity has always guided me.
I have studied well-being from a holistic perspective, exploring the physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions of human experience. My background includes psychology, physiotherapy, and adult learning & development.
