ABOUT ME

Hi, 👋 I’m Elisabeth, but you can call me Liz.

I'm passionate about supporting people in building lives and relationships that feel authentic, connected, and true to who they are. While I have a particular interest in working with LGBTQIA+ clients, I welcome adults from all backgrounds.

I offer a warm, affirming space to explore whatever's bringing you to therapy — whether that's identity, relationships, anxiety, difficult past experiences, or simply a feeling that something in life isn't quite working.

Born in Hong Kong, raised in New Zealand, half Dutch, and now firmly settled in Amsterdam, I’ve spent much of my life navigating different cultures, identities, and communities. I understand how identity and belonging can become even more complex when you’re living between cultures.

My experience of queerness shapes how I show up as a therapist. I strive to create a warm, affirming space where you can be your full self.

When I’m not in sessions, I’m probably hanging out with my two orange cats, rewatching a comfort show, or getting supplies for my revolving craft hyper fixations.
