CALMING SHORES
Your Journey, Your Pace
Psychological Support for Expats, Internationals, and LGBTQIA+ Folks
Estimated waiting time: 4-5 weeks
Welcome to Calming Shores
A private practice based in Rotterdam where you can pause, breathe, and be met with care. I offer both in-person and online psychological support, so whether you are nearby or in another city, you are welcome here.
While I work with people from all walks of life, I have a special focus on supporting expats, students, LGBTQIA+ folks, and others navigating life transitions or seeking a deeper connection with themselves.
As a psychologist, I believe that healing begins with feeling understood. My mission is to offer a safe and supportive space where you can explore your experiences, reconnect with yourself, create meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you, and help you move towards a life that feels more aligned with who you are.
Taking that first step into therapy can feel overwhelming. That's why I try to keep things simple, kind, and human. Sessions are always shaped around you, your pace, your needs, your way of expressing yourself. This is your space!
How I can support you
Anxiety & Stress
Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in perfectionism. Together, we can explore the roots of these patterns, build practical coping tools, and help you move towards a better balance and ease.
Cross-Cultural Adjustment
Adjusting to life in a new country can be both exciting and challenging. Together, we can explore identity shifts, loneliness, and cultural stress while helping you feel more grounded, connected, and at home in your new environment.
Sexuality & Identity Exploration
Exploring your gender, sexuality, or sense of self. Together, we can create an affirming space where you are accepted just as you are, while making sense of your experiences and helping you feel more connected to who you are.
Trauma
You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, hyper-alert, or completely shut down. Together, we can explore the impact of what you have been through, helping you make sense of your experiences and cultivate a better sense of safety within yourself and others around you.
