About me<\/h2>\n\t\n\t\n\t<\/div>

As a child, I mainly wanted to be 'normal,' while I often felt different. I didn't really know what that 'being normal' actually meant. I also didn't yet fully understand who I was and what was going on inside me.<\/p>\n

Over the course of my life, I have become more familiar with the feelings and experiences that are part of life, such as pain and joy, closeness and letting go. That does not mean that it is always easy to allow these feelings. I have, as it were, tasked myself with making room for them, especially during difficult moments. This helps me to look at myself and others with more openness, without judging too quickly.<\/p>\n

Connection with other people is important to me. Doing things together, having fun, and accomplishing something gives me satisfaction. It is important that everyone can remain themselves, without forcing themselves or others. This also includes the freedom to make your own choices and to go your own way.<\/p>\n

People who know me describe me as empathetic, with a sense of humor, and at the same time goal-oriented. I recognize that combination in my work as a therapist as well. I find it important to give space to what someone is experiencing, but also to explore together what can help them move forward.<\/p>\n

After completing a four-year training program in integrative psychotherapy in Amsterdam, I started my own practice in 2012. In addition to my work, I volunteer, enjoy making music together with others (playing the piano), and practice Zen meditation.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>
