I am a therapist specialized in helping clients with mental health challenges like anxiety, depression and trauma, as well as issues around sexuality and relationships, including ethical non-monogamy (ENM) and LGBTQIA+ identities. My background also includes working with expats, cross-cultural relationships, and I have personal experience with individuals facing disabilities.

Choosing a private therapist offers several advantages, especially in a system where long waitlists can delay mental health treatment. In the Netherlands, many people wait months just for an initial diagnosis through insurance-sponsored care, postponing the start of treatment. Additionally, therapy is often only covered if you receive a formal diagnosis, and even then, you must pay the eigen risico, which is typically €385 per year. Insurance-covered therapy also often comes with a limited number of sessions, which may not be enough for your needs.

With private therapy, you benefit from faster access, greater flexibility, and a personalized approach tailored to your needs. I provide compassionate, inclusive therapy that goes beyond standard treatment—focusing on truly understanding you and offering customized support for your growth and healing.

An individual session lasts 60 minutes and costs €90.

If you’d like to work together but my rate is out of your budget, please reach out. I offer a limited number of sliding scale slots.

I cannot accept insurance directly. However, some insurance providers offer partial reimbursement for therapy sessions. Please use the details below to check your eligibility with your insurance provider. They may also require a referral from your general practitioner.
