Frequently Asked Questions
What are the rates of your services?
1 session (50 minutes) is €80. This includes intake and online sessions.
For university students, I offer sessions at €50 for 50 minutes.
In the last week of the month, I will send an invoice for the month’s sessions which can be paid by bank transfer.
Do you take insurance?
I am NOT affiliated with any Dutch or international healthcare, or insurance providers. It may be possible that medical care through the Dutch system is a better fit or necessary. Some international healthcare providers can however reimburse your costs for therapy. Please contact your international provider or plan to check for the process.

Do you work with teens or children?
I do not work with children ages 12 and under. Please let me know if I can help you find a child psychologist / specialist, or family therapist! I am happy to help refer out.
I work primarily with adults (ages 18 and older), but will also take on teen clients on a case-by-case basis. We (teen, guardian(s), and therapist) will first have a free consultation session online so we can discuss practicalities, confidentiality agreements, and to see if therapy together would be a good fit!
Is your office wheelchair accessible?
The office is on the 3rd floor and unfortunately only has steep stairs. I apologize for this inconvenience and am happy to meet online if that suits you better.
