ABOUT DR.DUTCH:

I discovered my passion for clinical psychology and specifically psychological assessment later in life, inspired by a deeply personal experience. One of our children was struggling in school, and a psychological evaluation opened our eyes. It was as if we were given glasses that allowed us to see our child more clearly, to understand and nurture his individuality. That transformative experience is what I strive to offer every family and client I work with.

I provide therapy and comprehensive psychological evaluations for children, adolescents, adults, and families, including assessments for ADHD and ASD. My work is guided by the belief that each of us is born with a unique blueprint of strengths, interests, and potential. Early experiences can sometimes dim parts of who we are, as we hide traits to avoid rejection or shame.

In therapy, I create a nurturing, safe space where clients can explore and understand the parts of themselves that have been suppressed. By reconnecting with these aspects of the self, we can address challenges, build resilience, and begin to fully embody our authentic, “365-degree” personality. My goal is to support clients in discovering their strengths, developing self-awareness, and living with confidence and purpose.
