Third Culture Kid. Growing up in South Africa, Malaysia, Turkey, Malta and the Netherlands - You could say I love diversity.
My love for analysing and understanding people urged me to get a BSc Psychology and a MSc Clinical Psychology in the Netherlands. I believe everyone deserves the choice to lead a life they find meaningful and not be controlled by their automated responses.
Furthermore, having a vast international background has taught me that borders are an illusion in the realms of connection. I therefore always welcome alternative perspectives.
Working through unwanted emotions, memories and thoughts from the past is my speciality. So I love trauma. Well, not love, but love working with it! I also like more of a bird eye’s view, so I incorporate tools from different areas of therapy (EMDR, Schema Therapy, CBT).
My goal from our sessions is not to eliminate distress (well maybe a little bit), but in actuality, I’d like to bring you the awareness of choice in your life. By recognising the power of choice, we feel ready to face challenges in our life.
