About Me

Offering therapy to Expats & International Professionals

I’m a registered psychologist based in Amsterdam, working primarily with expats and international clients. I offer therapy to expats in English and Afrikaans. I have an independent practice, registered at the Dutch Association of Psychologists (NIP), Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA),  and Kamers van Koophandel (KVK).

Having lived abroad myself, I understand the emotional impact of relocation, identity shifts, and building a life far from home.

My aim is to offer a calm, supportive space where you can feel understood and empowered to move forward.
