About me
You might feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure why life feel harder than it should. Sometimes the problem is clear. Sometimes it’s just a quiet sense that something isn’t working anymore. You don’t need to have the right words for it. We figure that out together.
In our work, we look at your life as a whole. We explore how different aspects of your past and present connect to what you’re experiencing now. From there, we define what you need to move forward.
As a psychologist, I do not assume that everything needs to be fixed or changed. I give you space to reflect, offer guidance when needed, and support you in finding your own strength to grow. We work at a pace that feels safe and manageable, without judgement or moralising.
My training in Clinical Psychology gives me a strong, evidence-based foundation. I have experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma-related difficulties, ADHD, autism, and misophonia. At the same time, I keep therapy down-to-earth, focused on what actually helps in daily life, and I steer away, when possible, from labels and diagnoses.
Feeling understood sometimes goes beyond qualifications. I also draw from personal experiences of relocating between countries, working in high-pressure environments, changing careers, and becoming a parent. Parenthood is especially close to my heart, and supporting people through pre- and postpartum phase is something I care about deeply.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
Person-centered approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to you. We shape the process together, based on what feels most useful at each stage.
First, we slow things down and make sense of what is going on. Together, we take time to understand the patterns that may be holding you back. From there, you decide what you want to change, and what may be better met with acceptance. Not everything has to be analysed or fixed. We focus on what truly impacts your life.
I use tools from CBT and other evidence-based approaches, adapting them to you. Some people prefer structure and exercises. Others need space to talk and reflect. Most need a bit of both.
We regularly check in about how the sessions feel and what is or isn’t helping. We adjust the pace or focus when needed, so the process stays aligned with you.
You don’t have to commit to a long process from the start. If you’re unsure, you can book a free 20-minute intro call to meet, ask questions, and see if we’re a good fit.
