Join My Newsletter: Insights, Updates & New Projects
As part of the continuous growth I encourage in my clients, I follow the same path myself, exploring, learning, connecting, doing, succeeding, failing, and collecting experiences that enrich my work as an expat psychologist. I practice evidence-based treatments and continue to build my professional practice in a new country and around the world.
This ongoing personal and professional development helps me “walk the talk” and continually expand the toolkit I use to support the people I work with.

Understanding Hormonal Mood Swings with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Many clients report feeling noticeably better when daylight duration increases, especially in the often rainy Netherlands.

Overcoming Achievement Guilt Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Achieving high levels of success can lead to achievement guilt, a feeling of wrongdoing despite success. This can stem from societal expectations, comparison with others, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism. It can result in stress, anxiety, and strained relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help reframe success, develop self-compassion, and set realistic expectations to transform guilt into self-pride.
