About me
As a ‘Third Culture Kid,’ I understand what it is like to live abroad and experience a different culture. It is therefore not surprising that I am interested in this topic and have become a child and youth psychologist. I have worked at various international schools with children and adolescents from different cultural backgrounds. The different cultural backgrounds are a source of inspiration for me to start a conversation about growing up in a new environment. I also advise parents how to support their child with their behavior. Furthermore, I also like to work with young adults. They are in the prime of their lives and they will have to make important choices to learn to stand on their own two feet. For some young adults this is a challenge, I will help you find your path.
In addition to my work, I do yoga and I enjoy dancing. I also like to travel – and of course preferably to as many countries as possible to learn more and more about different cultures.
Dedicated to your development
Working methods
During therapy I will help you to better handle the obstacles in your life and take on new challenges. During the first conversation we will get to know each other. Visual puzzles and non-verbal and verbal tasks will be used so that I can learn more about your interests and hobbies. We will discuss what you are struggling with and what you would like to work on, but we will also discuss what is going well in your life. It is important that you feel comfortable with me. After the first conversation, I will set up a treatment plan with your therapy goals which will be regularly evaluated.
The client comes first. I would like to get to know you in an informal and friendly way. I will focus on your strong qualities, work with you to find the best solution for your problems or/and support your parents. It is also possible to conduct a psychological assessment to investigate your learning, social-emotional and behavioral difficulties. Afterwards you and your parents will receive practical tools to support you with your development. From a holistic view, I will help you to map out your growth opportunities so that you can reach your full potential.
