WELCOME
Life, like the sea, is ever-changing. We all go through periods when the waves seem to keep getting higher and it gets difficult to stay afloat on our own.
As a therapist, I offer you a safe space where, in complete tranquillity, you can look at what is happening in your life today and how you are responding to it. I guide you through the emotions that need to be felt and help you find the words to describe what has happened to you. Together, we will explore the undercurrent of your thoughts and emotions. Step by step, you will develop the resilience and stability needed to take the helm of your life once again.
I combine warm empathy with resoluteness in my approach. My method is rooted in trauma therapy, person-centred therapy and emotional bodywork.

WHO AM I?
I am fascinated by the deep connection between body, emotion and mind, and the story behind the story.
My journey in personal development began during a turbulent period in terms of work, relationships and health. I set out on this path through yoga, bodywork, therapy, Reconstructive therapy and dance therapy. I decided to explore this professionally by training in trauma therapy, emotional bodywork and talk therapy.
I also have extensive experience in supporting people in secondary education as a Dutch and English teacher, support staff member, coordinator and coach, and I once worked as a cultural journalist for VRT radio and De Morgen.
I grew up at the seaside, am the mother of two young adults and have a wonderful partner. Dancing, yoga, writing and walking in nature help me stay balanced and I immensely enjoy the cultural scene in Brussels.
