It is my belief that even though people seem to differ in their inborn ability to handle life's stresses, their resiliency and sense of mastery can be cultivated. My therapeutic approach is to help my clients live a more hopeful and meaningful life. Being the oldest child of a Dutch family of Holocaust survivors, I "learned" how trauma and resiliency gets transmitted from one generation to the next. My fascination of learning how the body keeps the score, my interest in helping people be securely attached and engaged with each other all brought me to this exciting calling.
I practice a compassionate, creative and sensitive therapy using the MIND (Psycho-dynamic, Solution-Focused, Systemic) and the BODY (EMDR, EFT, BrainSpotting, Sensori-motor, Relaxation, Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation). This systematic approach values the client and their ongoing interaction with the environment (life experiences, health, culture, gender, loved ones).
I have extensive international, civil, military and university (adjunct professor) experience in teaching, supervision and counseling clients in coping with trauma and distress Furthermore, experienced working with multi-cultural and minority issues, interfaith and blended families.

Being out-of-network simply means that you can still receive care from me. Depending on your insurance plan, you may have out-of-network benefits, which can help cover part of the cost of your care. You would pay me directly, and I will provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance.

I often use body-oriented psychotherapy, focusing on how the body impacts mental and emotional health. Early sessions include a family genogram to explore family history and patterns, offering insight into current challenges. I also teach relaxation techniques to build safety and trust before deeper trauma work.
