I offer online and in-person counselling services in English targeting Expat adjustment, self-empowerment, stress management, anxiety and depression. Offering EMDR, cognitive behavioural therapy and talk therapy. Working with individuals and couples with affordable rates and evening time slots to accommodate all schedules, we can work towards your goals of living a fuller and happier life from the comfort of your own home, or the comfort of my office.

Psychotherapy: A 50 minute session dedicated to your mental health through talk therapy, CBT and other holistic (looking at your whole life) approaches to achieve your mental health goals.
Couple’s Therapy: Ease into couple’s therapy with cognitive behavioural therapy for couples. Focused on helping change the understanding of the relationship and open communication for couples of all backgrounds. LGBTQ+ safe space.
I am a Canadian woman living abroad in the Netherlands since 2018. I did my undergraduate degree in psychology and anthropology at the University of British Columbia. I have been working in the counselling field since 2015 when I started working on a crisis line and graduated with a Master’s in Counselling Psychology with the intent of starting this very practice to help people who want to make change in their lives.
Important things to know about me is that I strive to always be non-judgmental and open. I aim to create a safe space for everyone from all backgrounds and orientations without prejudice. I am constantly educating myself and pushing myself to learn more about people, the world and counselling styles. I genuinely believe in two somewhat contradictory statements:
“Understanding heals agony”
and
“I understand that I cannot understand”
To me, these mean that I will always strive to understand someone to better help them, but that I acknowledge I cannot actually experience the exact same things as them and that their unique experience is theirs alone to understand, I can only support them in it.
