My clients are the bravest people I know. Stuck in old stories, they come knocking, hoping for a different plot twist. In times of searching, I am your companion on the journey. We reflect on what has shaped you into the person you are today and how you can get closer to your unique self again. I invite you to take responsibility for your life and take concrete steps towards your desired, realistic future. I provide therapy as I would want to receive it: what you see and hear is what you get. Authentic and passionate.
My own path of personal development is a never-ending story. I dreamed of a career in the artistic sector, but life led me to study Clinical Psychology. That journey brought me roles as a researcher, coordinator, trainer, speaker, intervisor, supervisor, and psychologist. The common thread throughout all of this is listening to and (re)constructing stories of hope, growth, and connection. Every experience – high and low – has led me to the point where I am now. I have learned that growth and change can be painful, but being stuck in a place where you don't belong, lacking meaning, is even more painful. Meanwhile, I also guide people in the artistic world and their loved ones towards a deeper, more authentic, and loving connection with themselves and each other.
