About me

Life is an absolutely bonkers, breathtaking, soul wrenching and exquisite journey and we’re all in it together. I wholeheartedly believe we are stronger than we think and capable of healing and living a fulfilled and balanced life. 


As a Dutch newcomer here in Vancouver, I offer a down to earth, zero judgment and open minded attitude where every person and every issue is welcome.

As a counsellor I look for connection and offer a safe space for any stories, thoughts or experiences you may share. My style is to approach things with curiosity, acceptance and a dash of humor. I am passionate about grief and loss, and all that may come with that: depression, anxiety, loss of perspective and purpose.

In my free time I love traveling and being in nature as well as biking everyday, can’t take the Dutch out of me! Aside from that, I get my dopamine hits from petting cute dogs and enjoying music, art and movies. 

I would be honored to witness your story and your journey.
