Specialisations and Expertises

Areas of Focus

My work centers on the challenges that tend to surface during major life transitions — the kind that force you to reckon with who you are, what you value, and how you want to live. I work most frequently with individuals navigating:

• Anxiety and depression, particularly where these feel connected to larger questions about meaning and direction
• Expat and cross-cultural adjustment, including the grief, disorientation, and identity questions that can come with relocating
• Life transitions — career changes, relationship shifts, loss, and the periods between one chapter and the next
• Identity and self-understanding, including a sense that something feels off without being able to name exactly what
  
  

Approach

Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, I'm interested in what they're pointing toward. Existential and psychodynamic frameworks guide my work — both take seriously the idea that understanding yourself more deeply is the path to living more freely.

Session Expectations

This kind of depth-oriented work is not a quick fix, and I don't present it as one. Most clients find meaningful movement within 8 to 12 sessions, though many choose to continue beyond that as the work deepens. I offer a free 20-minute consultation before we begin so we can assess fit and talk through what you're hoping to get from therapy.

Most common issues I support people with:

Expat adjustment and cross-cultural transition
Moving abroad raises questions that go beyond logistics. Many of my clients arrive feeling disoriented, disconnected, or quietly grief-stricken despite having made the move they wanted. We work to understand what the transition is asking of you and how to actually inhabit the life you've built rather than just manage it.

Anxiety
Anxiety is rarely just nervousness — it often points toward something unresolved or unacknowledged. Rather than working to eliminate it, we work to understand and process what it's signaling, which tends to produce more lasting relief than symptom management alone.

Depression and low mood
Depression often arrives when something important in a person's life has gone unattended for too long. I work with clients to understand what's underneath the flatness and disconnection, and what it might take to genuinely shift it.

Identity and meaning
Who are you when your context changes? Many of my clients are high-functioning people who find themselves quietly asking whether the life they're building actually feels like theirs. These are the questions I find most useful to work with.

Life transitions

Career changes, relationship shifts, loss, relocation — transitions strip away the familiar and force a reckoning. The discomfort of that is real, but so is the opportunity it creates.

Fees

Standard session fee: €130 per 50-minute session, VAT included.

I do not work with Dutch health insurance, as my US-based licensure places me outside the Dutch BIG-register. Sessions are private pay only.

A limited number of sliding scale spots are available for those facing financial hardship — please contact me directly for details.

A free 30-minute introductory consultation is offered to all new clients before committing to a first session.
