About me

Through my experience, studies and therapeutic work, I've learned about the human psyche, behavioural change, emotional regulation, mindfulness, honest communication, trauma processing, somatic experiencing, problem-solving, authentic relating and the healing power of loving relationships, and the importance of taking responsibility for one's life and accepting who one is. During my psychology studies, I gained the most from setting up and participating in a peer-support group where we openly explored our experiences. I learned to cultivate attitudes of unconditional positive regard, genuineness and empathic understanding towards myself and others. I learned how to receive others more wholly and help them come closer to themselves by immersing myself in their experience as best as I could. During my work as a counsellor, I've worked with people from all over the world from various backgrounds dealing with a wide range of problems related to work, relationships, substance use, (developmental) trauma, emotional neglect, racism and other forms of discrimination, low self-worth, lack of meaning, depression, suicidality, anxiety, feeling and expressing emotions, standing up for oneself, obsessions, compulsions and much more.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Body therapyRecommended for those who want to connect their mind and body to release stress or trauma through physical sensations and movement.
Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
I aim to create an empathic, accepting and understanding climate to openly explore your experience, work through traumas, develop greater self-understanding, learn to feel your experience and embody your emotions, come to accept yourself, solve or transcend your problems, and find meaning in your challenges. I see therapy as a collaborative process between you and me, in which we encounter each other with genuine openness and the shared desire to help you heal, expand and thrive. A process to be approached with compassion, curiosity and sensitivity, and enjoyed with creativity, presence and humor. My primary role as your counsellor is to help you help yourself by creating a facilitative environment to process your past, tackle present challenges and tap into your potential for growth. I aim to cultivate your ability to live authentically, establish meaningful relationships and pursue your life goals. To that end, I develop a personalized therapy attuned to your specific needs and struggles by integrating various therapeutic schools, mindfulness approaches and embodiment practices, in a spiritually informed body-oriented talk therapy. With this approach, I can help you work on a wide range of symptoms, challenges and aspirations and live towards the future you dream of. Among other modalities, I work with Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing and EMDR. And continue to expand my practice with what I learn from books, supervision, training, and personal experience. Free first 20 min consultation session, for you to experience my approach and get a sense of what it's like to work with me. Practicalities: - 50-minute online or in-person sessions - Weekly or bi-weekly sessions are the norm but frequency can be adjusted to your needs and desires - Dynamic and collaborative process regarding how we work and what we focus on adjusting to your needs and goals
