From a young age I started to realize how your personality gets formed by the family dynamics that you grow up in. Being always curious about relationships and what other people think, I studied Psychology. This way I am able to help people see other perspectives and get a better understanding of themselves.

Throughout my career I have worked in different settings, with a variety of clients. I have also worked in schools supporting children, parents and teachers. Because working with adults have always been my passion, I have opened my own clinic in Leiden.

In my private life I really enjoy sports. I am a big fan of triathlon and I also play ping pong. I am very interested in environmental awareness and I take part in social actions like city or beach cleanings.

During our first meeting the goal is to get to know each other. Also, I want to identify the reason that you asked for professional support and what you’re struggling with. It is very important for both of us to specify the issue and create a treatment plan that fits your needs.

I have a lot of experience with complex cases, where comorbidity is present. During the sessions I work often with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that focuses on thought patterns and how they affect the emotions and behaviors of each individual. I use this in combination with psychodynamic and schema therapy, that both aim to uncover the deeper layers of your mental state, such as traumas, personality or family issues. More importantly, I adjust the techniques I use to the person in front of me.

Als je met mij aan de slag gaat, is het fijn om van tevoren te weten hoeveel een afspraak kost. Een reguliere sessie is 106 euro en een lange afspraak 159 euro. Je betaalt per afspraak. Op de pagina kosten psycholoog staan alle tarieven.

Vergoeding

Er zijn meerdere manieren om je afspraken bij mij vergoed te krijgen: via je werkgever of in sommige gevallen via je aanvullende zorgverzekering. Vanuit de basisverzekering krijg je via Psyned geen vergoeding. Daar staat tegenover dat je direct kan starten.

Klikgarantie

Tijdens de sessies vertel je vaak persoonlijke en kwetsbare dingen. Het is daarom belangrijk dat er vertrouwen is en je een klik voelt. Psyned werkt met klikgarantie. Klopt het gevoel voor jou toch niet? Dan koppelen we je aan een andere psycholoog en betalen wij je eerste afspraak.
