Trauma Therapist, Art Therapist, Teacher, Family Constellations Facilitator, Reiki Master.
Online ZOOM + in Amsterdam
I began my journey as an art therapist over 10 years ago, shaped by personal challenges like alexithymia, allergies, PCOS, eating disorders, and body dysphoria. These experiences, along with specialized training, led me to develop an integrative, body-oriented approach.
I use tools like somatic art therapy, bilateral drawing, and phototherapy, weaving in mindfulness, shamanic journeys, and conscious movement. I also integrate clients' own practices—such as yoga, dance, qigong, or massage—supporting healing on all levels: body, mind, heart, and spirit.
I guide new art therapists in building their practices, helping them use their bodies as a tool in therapy and interpret visual expression meaningfully.
My work supports those navigating self-worth, emotional regulation, business-related issues (money, clients, stability), identity shifts (including immigration), psychosomatic symptoms, body image issues, and the feminine identity. I do not work with families or children.

Hidden dynamics inside and outside, relationships. Ancestral healing.
Photo Art Therapy
When you look at photographs of your body, you might notice projections and symbols. These can provide access to feelings and help revive memories that were previously isolated. Through drawing and therapeutic conversation, clients can gain access to somatic memories (according to Scaer) and traumatic memories stored in the right hemisphere.
PhotoTherapy, Video and Movement
During the self-confrontation process with regards to Body Image, the client is encouraged to view themselves as another person and observe their behavior from an outsider's perspective. By establishing a friendly relationship with this alternate self, the client can better understand their true self and values, and work towards overcoming old movement patterns that no longer serve them. This process allows the client to gain clarity about their reality and make changes that align with their authentic self.
Mindfulness and Somatic Art Therapy
During our sessions, clients safely connect with their bodies and explore physical sensations, emotions, and pain through body mapping. We train interoception and proprioception.
