Who am I?

I am a BIG registered GZ psychologist, teacher and scientific researcher with more than 15 years of treatment experience. As a researcher I examine innovative treatment methods such as eHealth and I am involved in the treatment of anxiety, compulsion and depression. As a practitioner, I have helped people with a wide range of mental health issues, such as anxiety, panic, worrying, compulsion, depression, burnout and personality problems. I would like to continue this from this institution, where I can focus even more on your wishes as a client and I can give good customized treatment.

Method

As a client, you are entitled to treatment that has been well researched and that we know works well for most people. As a practitioner, I therefore try to work as much as possible on the basis of scientifically based insights. On the other hand, science does not provide all the answers. Every person has his own story. I see therapy as a search process in which I search with the client for the answers that suit him or her. We do this on the basis of interventions that have proven to be effective. I mainly work on the basis of cognitive behavioral therapy, supplemented if necessary with elements from other forms of therapy, such as schema therapy, interpersonal therapy and mindfulness.

If you prefer (also) treatment online or by phone: you decide!

My experience is that a treatment is not only more accessible, but also is enriched by offering it through different channels. With a mix of face to face conversations, video calling, and support via an interactive treatment platform. We call this ‘blended care’. An important advantage is that the therapeutic process with the help of eHealth is very transparent and interactive and is not limited to the consulting room. We both know what we are working on and as a therapist I can better follow the process you go through as a client. Together we look for the right mix for you. And if you prefer only face to face treatment, you can of course!

English-speaking clients can also contact me.
