About Me
At Willow Psychology, I take inspiration from the resilience and flexibility of the willow tree; a reminder that while life’s challenges can bend us, they don’t have to overwhelm us.
My goal is to offer a supportive, grounded space where you can explore what’s been difficult, understand yourself more deeply, and grow stronger in the process.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Amsterdam and a Master’s degree in Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology from Utrecht University. I completed my clinical internship at iMindU GGZ, where I primarily worked with young adults and students. In addition, I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and several crisis intervention techniques.
I believe that effective psychological support comes from genuine connection, curiosity, and collaboration. My approach integrates evidence-based methods with a focus on empathy and personal meaning. I’m committed to ongoing professional development and regularly participate in advanced training and scientific learning — ensuring that the care I provide is both compassionate and informed by the latest research
