I am a native English speaking, CBT psychologist located in the Netherlands. I became a licensed psychologist in the state of Colorado in 2019 with a doctoral degree in counseling psychology from Colorado State University.

As a psychologist from an American Psychological Association-accredited PhD program, I have broad training across the range of psychological disorders and mental health, with additional trainings in the areas of managing stress, worry, panic, hopelessness, lack of meaning or purpose, loss and grief, loneliness and isolation, and relationship problems. The most frequent problems I have helped people manage are Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Borderline Personality Disorder.

I have experience working with all of the following ages:

• Preteens / Tweens (ages 11 to 13)

• Adolescents / Teenagers (ages 14 to 19)

• Adults (all ages)

• Elders (ages 65+)

I first meet you and listen to you. When we both feel I have a good grasp of the circumstances bringing you to therapy, we develop goals and a plan for achieving them. We measure your progress in every session to make sure we're on the right path. If we're not, we make adjustments to our approach. 

At times, I teach skills you can use to cope with stress, flashbacks, panic, and other intense emotions. I also assign specific exercises or "experiments" for you to try outside of our sessions to enhance your progress as you're ready. I continuously check-in on how you're feeling, your level of motivation, and your interest throughout sessions to make sure we're going at the right pace for you. 

Above all, I prioritize making sure you are heard, understood, and that we are both on the same page with your treatment - it's the only way it works!  You can see more here about what to expect from a  session with me. 

The specific theoretical frameworks I use and have received additional training in are: TEAM-CBT (an enhanced model of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Interpersonal and Social Rhythms Therapy (IPSRT) for Bipolar Disorders.
