Welcome
As a native English-speaking therapist working in The Hague, the focus of my practice is on counselling expatriates. Many members of the expatriate community, both native English speakers and non-native English speakers, come to the Netherlands to conduct their professional lives in English. I am well acquainted with the issues that expats face here. Relocation to a foreign country, isolation, relationships, work, family, health, finances, hopes for the future or pain from the past – all can impact our self-image, our mood, and our energy.
Perhaps the stress of living in a new environment is complicating your life. Maybe past events and feelings are hindering your progress. You might feel ready to make some important changes. There come points in each of our lives when we need help. Psychotherapy provides a route and a map. Working together, our focus is simple but challenging: To identify your goals -- where you'd like to be, and to figure out how to get there.
As a therapist, I combine well-honed clinical skills with empathic warmth. I see therapy as a process in which we learn from the past in order to make more satisfying choices now – to create a fulfilling future.
My practice is located in downtown The Hague, easily accessible by public transportation. For those who travel frequently, I have the capability to conduct sessions via Skype.
