About Me
I am a dedicated School Psychologist with over 30 years of experience helping individuals, families, and educators navigate the challenges of academic, social, and emotional development. I combine deep expertise with a compassionate, solution-focused approach to support the well-being of people.
Background & Experience
My background includes providing a rich range of support and services to individuals and families of diverse backgrounds, personalities, cultures, and socioeconomic conditions. From overseeing individual student development and implementing therapeutic programs to advising parents and teachers, my strength lies in quickly connecting with clients and establishing trusting relationships.
Education & Professional Affiliations
I received my training in the United States, where I have worked in both public and private schools, as well as private practice. While in the Netherlands, I have worked at a private international school for more than a decade, providing support to students, parents and staff across the school’s Pre-Kindergarten t0 Grade 12 learning community.
I am licensed in Florida and Louisiana. Additionally, I have obtained certification in Unified Psychotherapy , a comprehensive approach to integrative practice that organizes theories and techniques within a holistic framework.
I am a current member of the Netherlands Institute of Psychologists (NIP), American Psychological Association (APA), and National Association of School Psychologists (NASP).
Philosophy & Approach
After years of experience in various settings, I am excited to return to private practice, bringing the skills and expertise to support individuals and their families.
My background has given me valuable insight into mental health, cognitive functioning, and how their interaction influences learning and daily life. By drawing from a range of methodologies, I tailor my approach to each individual, creating a balanced and effective process that supports personal strengths and areas for growth.
I strive to create a positive and meaningful environment where an individual can gain a deeper understanding of how their mind works.
My goal is to empower an individual to take control of their learning and personal development by providing personalized guidance that also supports a family’s unique needs, and fosters care, resilience, well-being, and lasting growth.
