My background

Driven by a curiosity for human behavior, I began my studies in clinical psychology in 2018. Now, in my final year at KU Leuven, I’m slowly leaving the classroom behind, but definitely not the learning. As Brian Herbert says, "The capacity to learn is a gift; the ability to learn is a skill; the willingness to learn is a choice."

What you can come to me for

Are you struggling with something or do you feel stuck? I warmly invite you to join me in exploring what else you can learn about yourself.

What characterizes me

  • A warm, empathetic attitude with a focus on equality, trust, and transparency
  • A belief in your abilities
  • A goal-oriented, scientifically grounded approach

My approach

I create a safe space where you can actively embark on self-discovery. My aim is to gain insight together into your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, helping you to better understand yourself. This level of self-awareness will allow you to pursue the goals and aspects of life that you find important. This journey can sometimes be scary, and there will be moments when you’re confronted not only with your strengths but also with your challenges. I will continue to believe in you and support you every step of the way.

My leisure activities

I find my energy in swimming and music, and my peace in nature. I’m always looking for people and things that can inspire me, and sometimes I let that creativity flow onto a canvas.
