About me

Behind every session is a person. Here you can find out who will be supporting you and what shapes my work.

Personal introduction

Trust begins with a face. See mine before you decide.

Personal Journey

01

What moves people deep down, what weighs on them and what lets them breathe again, has always fascinated me. This curiosity about the person behind the façade is, to this day, the common thread in everything I do.

02

To study psychology, I made a conscious choice to go abroad, to London, Zurich and Madrid. Arriving somewhere new again and again, in unfamiliar surroundings and languages, carried me through my own phases of upheaval and uncertainty. So I know from my own experience what it is like to find your footing again, and that is exactly where I can be a steady presence for you, in English or Spanish if you wish. Today I am a psychologist (M.Sc. Clinical Psychology) and support you in psychological counseling.

03

I'm not someone who tells you how your life should go. No one knows it better than you, and that is exactly what I build on: you bring your knowledge of yourself, I bring the space, the craft and a clear outside perspective. From the two together, your own path takes shape.

04

I need to look after myself too, and I do that most of all on the tennis court, where my head clears. Caring for your own balance isn't a one-time thing but part of life, for me as much as for you. That is what I wish for you: that you find room again for what does you good.

I offer psychological counseling, not psychotherapy in the clinical sense. For the treatment of diagnosed mental illness or for medication, please consult a medical or psychotherapeutic practice.
