Welcome! I’m a Dutch Canadian writer and therapist living in Los Angeles, raising a delightful teenage son with my supportive husband and the obligatory author’s cat. As a Doctor of Psychology and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I run a private practice specializing in helping individuals heal from traumatic life experiences and painful relationship dynamics.

In 2021 and 2022, I published my first two books, Gaslighting: A Step-by-Step Recovery Guide and Trauma Recovery Workbook for Teens. These books were born from years of practicing therapy and a genuine desire to connect with, support, and bring healing to others beyond the walls of my office.

Get to know me through my books, blog, and social media, where I share videos on practicing self-care, healing from trauma, relationships, and a range of other topics!
