I have been working as a speech therapist since 1992 and have gained very broad experience in various settings and locations. Among other things, I had my own practice in The Hague, I worked in Heemstede and Amsterdam, and I worked for the GGD Gooi and Vechtstreek as a speech therapist and sector manager.
I have extensive experience in OMFT and the treatment of speech-language development problems in (young) children. I specialise in breathing/voice therapy, a field I have enjoyed since my internship at a hospital in London, Ontario. For clients with chronic cough symptoms, I work with the proven effective SPEICH-C programme. Besides online speech therapy, I work as an independent speech therapist in Hilversum for my own practice Spraakkompas, and have a coaching practice called Zielskompas.
I am a mother of 3 (now grown-up) children. My passion for speech therapy lies mainly in the wide variety of treatment areas: voice, speech, breathing, coughing, language (development) and the combination of working with (young) children, adolescents as well as adults. I work human-oriented and I tailor treatment (in response to the request for help) to the person and the situation at that moment. Customisation, in other words! The most fun puzzle, every time!
