About me

Connecting to people in an authentic way and personal growth in general, has always been a passion for me and this is one of the main reasons I was drawn to psychology and started working as a therapist over 20 years ago. 

However I feel that the way Clinical psychology has changed over the years has led me away from what I believe can really help people improve their lives. I think that each person is unique and therefore needs a unique approach. I am also convinced that each person has an inner wisdom and knowing that is often unreachable due to emotional struggles and mental blockages. Once we can regain access to our own inner wisdom we can change our lives for the better. 

Over the years I have been exploring life and personal growth and getting more and more engaged with practices like meditation, reiki, yoga and spiritual ideas of a higher self, re-incarnation and non-duality and I feel it is essential to mix these with more traditional techniques to help people get acces to their full potential. 

I was born and raised in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and have been here in Southwest Virginia since 2021 to be with the love of my life. I thoroughly enjoy living here close to the mountains and so much beautiful nature surrounding us. I love hiking with our two dogs, camping, yoga, gardening, reading and music.
