About me

Having studied at the University of Oregon, London University and University of Leiden I settled into life here in The Netherlands. In both the USA and here in The Netherlands I have worked with children/adolescents in clinical day-treatment as well as out-patient mental health facilities as a fully qualified psychologist. In addition I have also worked in the Dutch special educational system and with various international schools.

Alongside clinical work, I have been active as qualified instructor at both applied science and academic universities here in The Netherlands lecturing on developmental psychology and psychopathology -- as well as mentoring psychology interns and thesis supervision. 

As the mother of three multilingual/multicultural adult children I am also very aware of the trials and tribulations of raising children in multiple languages/cultures.
