Resilience, Trauma, Coping, Secrecy, Suicide

Biography

Let's connect! I am an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology at Erasmus University Rotterdam in the Netherlands. As both a researcher and clinical psychologist, I am passionate about understanding how individuals navigate adverse circumstances, contributing to the prevention and treatment of mental health. My research centers around "Resilience in the face of mental health challenges," with a particular interest in "hidden" trauma or loss. In addition to my research pursuits, I coordinate a course on "Personality Disorders" (MSc) and supervise students' research and practical internships and practice as a Clinical Psychologist/Psychotherapist, specializing in one-on-one psychodynamic psychotherapy. I am enthusiastic about opportunities for collaboration and open to invitations from the media. Feel free to reach out for potential partnerships, discussions, or lecture invites.
