About me

Working with me means joining insight and action. From a place of compassion, tough love, creativity and humor, I pave the road to meaningful change in the lives of my clients.

My approach

As a seasoned coach, psychologist, and facilitator of transformation I work at various levels: personal and systemic; psychological and existential; content and process; consciousness and subconsciousness.

My approach combines cognitive and emotional intelligence - a smart brain needs a good heart.

Personal

I share my life with Barend after years of caring for my husband Robert, who suffered from Alzheimer's disease. I have three fantastic grown-up children and live and work in Amsterdam and Delft.

Driven by never-ending curiosity and eagerness to discover new things, I am always reading/ studying, making music, cooking for friends. I love going to concerts, being in nature, and practising photography.
