THERAPY
ABOUT
I aim to get a deep understanding of what your goals are and how you would like your life & relationship to be. It is my goal to meet you with great respect, openness and transparency.

THERAPIST
I was born and raised in The Netherlands and after graduating with a bachelor’s degree in art therapy I moved to Eugene OR. I ran Art Therapy groups for people in jail, as well as at a day treatment agency for teens. In 2007 I graduated from the Couples & Family Therapy masters program at the UofO. Since, I have worked as a Couples & Family Therapist with children, teens, and adults. Currently I mostly see adult individuals and -couples.
