  • Profile

    I am a PhD candidate in the Clinical Psychology department at the University of Amsterdam. Before starting my PhD, I worked as a research assistant on several studies and worked within clinical practice as a psychologist applying cognitive-behavioral principles. My current research focuses on the effectiveness of an emotionally focused treatment for parents and adolescents in youth healthcare, using a multi-method approach exploring treatment outcomes and working mechanisms.
