I know what you’re thinking: Therapists don’t look like that….do they?
As you’ll hopefully soon find out, I’m not a run-of-the-mill therapist. I take standardised treatment protocols and use them to create a tailor-made treatment plan for each individual. My approach also deviates from classic therapy in that I prefer creating a personal connection with my clients and I use personal experience, when necessary, to my advantage in helping people reach their goals. Being queer and also the daughter of immigrants, growing up in a multicultural environment, means that I am able to connect on a deeper level with many people in a way that any other therapist might not.

At the age of 18, I left the warm and sunny island of Curacao, where I was born and raised, to pursue a future in psychology at Leiden University in The Netherlands. Six years later I have a bachelors and a masters degree in psychology, and I have a great amount of experience in treating people with depression, anxiety, burnout and trauma. While I have learned a lot from working in different mental health institutions and practices in The Netherlands, the shortcomings and obstacles that come with working in bigger corporations are impossible to ignore. This is what drove me to finally take the leap and start my own business in helping others improve their mental health, and their lives, in a way that is not limited by a middle man.
