I am a clinical psychologist, clinical neuropsychologist, psychotherapist and a health care psychologist. I work within the mental health care at the GGzE in Eindhoven. In addition I have a private practice in psychotherapy.

Treatments can be given out of multiple frames of reference:
Behavioural therapy/ schema therapy, person centred experiential (client centred) therapy, Emotion focused therapy for individuals (EFT-i), family therapy (systeemtherapie; at the moment family therapy is not offered in my practice), Emotionally focused therapy for couples (EFT-c). Furthermore I am educated in EMDR and Attachment focused family therapy (AFFT).

During our collaboration we will try to understand your problem from ‘the inside’. I will be present as an active participant to help you get into contact with feelings..
Symptoms can be a signal of stagnation and it is important to investigate what caused them. How could this happen? Together we can search for a way to deal with it in a different way and that is best suited for your personal situation. The goal is to acquire a better quality of life. The treatment is simple and short if possible, intensive and long-lasting if needed.
My way of working is mainly process-aimed and themes that are important to you will form, through the sessions, the connecting line.
