About Me

I am a teacher and researcher at the University of Twente, with a focus on behavioral sleep treatment of adolescents, and mindfulness for students and young adults. In my work on research and education of students, I focus on empowering others to find the tools and skills that they need to flourish. These efforts are aimed at both clinicians who work with the treatment protocol for sleep improvement of adolescents that I developed, and at clients, students, and young adults regarding self-reflection, -development, mindfulness and well-being. I collaborate in national and international networks to develop guidelines and protocols for sleep treatment of adolescents, and in collaborations on development of courses of well-being and mindfulness.
