Do you feel like a hamster running endlessly on a wheel, stuck in the same cycles of challenges without knowing how to escape? I’m here to help you step off that wheel, leave the cage behind, and begin a new journey.

Über mich
I’m empathic, intuitive, and I have a track record of untangling complex thoughts, bringing clarity to people’s minds and making a difference. I am a licensed psychologist. In our sessions, I draw on my professional background, which includes: • Two years of training in Integrated Psychodynamic Psychotherapy • A five-year university degree in psychology with honours, • Three years in a Jungian dream school • A three-year school of counseling on transactional analysis I also bring to my clinical experience, my work in academia (where I supported university students in building resilience), and my role in international organizations, particularly in addressing challenges faced by those living away from their homes. My personal experience as a mother of three children and the cultural nuances of my family life, having been married to an expat for over 20 years, inform my practice.

Ansatz
There are two paths: a path for exploring who we are (often with general dissatisfaction or deeper psychological distress in the background); and a goals-oriented path. The who-we-are path is about transformation. You embark on a process of personal growth and individuation by integrating both conscious and unconscious aspects of yourself. In this journey, you are gently guided to revisit moments in your lives marked by tension or conflict. By revisiting your past, you can release blocked energy and apply it towards becoming your true self. The techniques I use in this deeper work are primarily psychodynamic, including dream interpretation, dealing with defence mechanisms, symbol work, active imagination, and – one of the most interesting aspects of who we are – the integration of our shadow. On the goals-oriented path we’ll clarify the goals you wish to achieve, identify your resources, and work on developing or reinforcing the necessary skills to reach your objectives. Skills here include effective communication and emotional regulation, problem-solving, decision-making, and stress management. This approach can often work for addressing self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, stress, and relational difficulties; issues around parenthood (challenges I’ve faced myself!); career counselling and the development of a satisfying career plan; and helping individuals navigate the challenges of building a new life in a different country.
