About me

I’m originally from the Netherlands and have been practicing as a therapist in both the United Kingdom and the United States.

After some time working in palliative and hospice care, I transitioned into counseling and psychotherapy in 2018 while living and studying in Edinburgh, Scotland. I initially trained in both person-centered and psychodynamic approaches. I became particularly experienced working with depression, manic episodes, trauma in connection to abusive relationships, as well as intimacy issues.

After obtaining my doctorate in 2023, I continued to engage with research and post-graduate counseling courses in Scotland before moving to Seattle, Washington, in 2024. I delve ever deeper into the fascinating world of the unconscious through writing and reading groups in Washington State.
