About me

Born in Amsterdam to an American father and Dutch mother,
I grew up in California and have been in Germany for over 20 years. I speak German fluently, however, English is still my mother tongue and it’s always a pleasure to have the opportunity to speak it. Language to me is more than just words, it has an emotional component, and it’s therefore my privilege to be able to offer therapy in English or German, depending on what you are more comfortable with. 

​

Aside from 3 semesters of psychology at a university in California, I’ve done all of my training in Germany. I started with a one-year program in ILP Coaching by Dietmar Friedmann (Integrierte Lösungsorientierte Psychologie), followed by a one-year program in hypnosis therapy, training in Havening Techniques, and simultaneously the certification process to practice therapy in Germany, Heilpraktiker für Psychotherapie (HPP).

​

After founding my practice in 2021 I went on to complete certification in body-oriented trauma therapy, drawing on Lawrence Heller’s NARM and Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing.
As of 2024 I am certified Havening Techniques Trainer, offering my own trainings in this powerful method.

I continue to expand my knowledge and skills, constantly learning and growing in my practice.
