About Klaasje
Fellow lover of sweatpants and all things comfy.
I’m So Glad You’re Here.
Even though we haven’t officially met yet, I want you to know that I’m already proud of you. Just being here, reading this, letting yourself consider something different… that’s not easy.
I know how much effort it takes to hold everything together, to be the one everyone else counts on. And I know how it feels to finally admit (to yourself more than anyone) that something has to change. That you need something, too.
So take a breath. You don’t have to figure it all out right now. But I want you to know that this space, this connection. it matters. And I’m really glad you found your way here.
Why I became a therapist
My name is Klaasje (sounds like Klasha), and I remember being in seventh grade, sweating through not just a t-shirt but a sweatshirt, panicked over whether I was acting normal enough. At night, I would lie awake, running through every interaction, every word, wondering, “Does everyone think this way?”
I still notice anxiety in my body sometimes (because feeling anxious is part of being human). But now, I meet it with compassion instead of fear. It doesn’t run the show anymore. Surrounding myself with women who make space for softness, honesty, and self-trust has helped me get here. Maybe I can be that person for you.
As a human, I love my sweet, sweet dog, going to bed early, and really good cheese. I can’t stand small talk, scary movies, or tight parking spaces.
THE PROFESSIONAL STUFF
My Professional Background
While I do have a Master’s in Spirituality and Psychotherapy, most of what I know I learned outside of a formal classroom. I love to read, take courses, and explore integrative practices that offer creative ways to help women lean into therapy, ways that honour the wisdom already within you.
We might take a break, get up and literally shake it out, breathe together, or sit with poetry and reflect. Therapy isn’t about following a rigid structure. It’s about honoring you.
