Clinical experience

In college, my first practicum internship in clinical psychology was at a daytime psychiatric center for children, and included hippotherapy. My second practicum was in a dolphin-assisted therapy program, working within a multidisciplinary team, in the Florida Keys.
In the United States, I worked nights at a mental health crisis center before becoming an early literacy kindergarten consultant. I then worked as an Infant/Toddler Developmental Specialist, providing one-on-one play therapy and counsulting in particular with the families and childcare providers of children on the autism spectrum or with behavioral difficulties. Finally, I also served as a School Psychologist in schools in Colorado, where I performed diagnostic psychological assessments (IQ tests, behavioral assessments) for children with learning difficulties, developmental delays or High Intellectual Potential.
Today a mother of two, both diagnosed as gifted, I have dual citizenship (Belgian-American), and I currently live in Bavaria, where I practice under my Belgian licensure. An independent counselor, I consult online with patients from all around Europe. I also contract through the Wounded Warrior Project, in order to help veterans who suffer from PTSD return to civilian life after years of service for their Nation.
In my Coaching practice, I specialize in particular in supporting people who suffer from burnout and / or chronic diseases and chronic pain. I help them to tame and reduce burnout and pain and to put in place tools and strategies to regain energy, motivation and rebuild a life full of joy.
