The first time when I was introduced to psychology and addiction I was 10. I happened to read a book about a 13-year-old girl who took her first pill from a friend, then she took the second one, the third one, and so on and on… From then on this subject has fascinated me. I found out early enough that addiction is not a disease; it is how one deals with pain. Often enough, family dynamics play a crucial role in the development of addiction, and other disorders as well.

I studied both Psychology and Education, so I am both a psychologist and a teacher. My goal is to help each individual realize their uniqueness, strengths, skills and powers. So that you can eventually connect the pieces of your life in a meaningful way. I have done lots of research, presented papers in conferences and at the moment I am also a PhD candidate. Furthermore, I am trained in Family Therapy.

The first session is an opportunity to get to know each other. We will talk about your request, expectations and the ways that our collaboration can be meaningful to you.

The main therapeutic approach I use is Systemic Psychotherapy. I often use some Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques if I believe they fit your process. Each client is different and unique and is treated that way!

I offer both individual and couples therapy. The goal is to explore the dynamics that lead to certain emotions, thoughts and behaviors. We will identify patterns that keep coming up in your life and the roles that you usually take in your interaction with others. The goal is to break the dysfunctional patterns and explore new ways of communication. Sometimes I will give you a small homework assignment. We will also focus on practical tips and tools that will help you cope with the difficulties you face.

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.
