Individual Therapy
Therapy That Honors Your Full Story
At Mind & Beyond International Psychological Services, individual therapy is a safe, collaborative space to explore, understand, and grow. Together, we look at your thoughts, emotions, and patterns with depth and care—creating room for self-understanding and lasting change.
Every therapy journey is unique. Some people come with a clear focus—such as trauma healing, anxiety, burnout, cultural transition, or identity exploration—while others arrive unsure, simply knowing something feels off. Whatever brings you here, I meet you with curiosity, respect, and clinical clarity.
As an English-speaking psychologist in Amsterdam—and a late-diagnosed ADHDer and expat—I understand the emotional, cognitive, and cultural layers that shape how we experience the world. I blend lived experience with professional expertise to offer therapy that is structured, adaptive, and sensitive to both individual and cultural contexts.
Whether you are an expat navigating life in the Netherlands, a neurodivergent individual seeking support, or someone simply wanting to know yourself better, therapy offers a grounded, flexible, and deeply empathetic path forward.
My Approach to Therapy
I work with an integrative, evidence-based approach that is always tailored to your goals and preferences. My therapy combines different methods to support both emotional well-being and clear thinking. While my approach is suitable for anyone, I also offer neurodiversity-affirming therapy for neurodivergent individuals, such as those with ADHD or autism, so that therapy feels supportive and accessible.
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a specialized therapy designed to help you heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. It works by using guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to process painful memories, reduces their emotional intensity and overwhelm, supports nervous system regulation, and help you move forward with greater ease. EMDR is a compassionate and effective approach that empowers you to regain control over your emotions and find relief from the past.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you notice and shift unhelpful thoughts, emotional reactions, and behavioral patterns. It’s especially effective for anxiety, depression, and stress—and offers practical tools for everyday resilience.
We also offer neurodiversity-affirming therapy:
Visual tools for memory and planning
Externalizing strategies for executive functioning
Playful metaphors and sensory supports
Space for nonlinear, associative thinking
This makes CBT more engaging, less overwhelming, and far more effective—because it actually fits how your mind works.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS is a gentle, non-pathologizing model that helps you connect with the various “parts” within you—supporting internal harmony, emotional regulation, and self-understanding.
For neurodivergent individuals, especially those exploring late diagnosis, unmasking, or emotional overwhelm, IFS offers a compassionate way to untangle your inner world and restore balance.
“There’s a reason I feel this way—and now I know how to care for it.”
