About me

I have been practising polyamory for over 17 years. After living in Berlin for 14 years, I now live closer to nature and work with clients exclusively online.

I am the co-founder of the ENP (Polyamory Expert Network for Counselors and Therapists) and the IFP (Institute for Polyamory).

Approach

Treatment Approaches
IFS: Internal family systemsRecommended for those who want to explore and heal the different parts of themselves that might feel conflicted or overwhelmed.
Systemic approachRecommended for those who want to look at how different systems—like family, work, or society—affect their behavior and relationships.

In the systemic approach we see people not as isolated, but as part of their surroundings (e.g. couple, family, work, society) which informs their interactions, behaviours and patterns. Additionally to those external systems we also examine internal systems, meaning the different aspects of your self and how they interact.

Our session can serve as a playful ‘what if?’ space to try out new constellations in the system (whether external or internal) without prejudice.

My work is resource and solution oriented. I see and understand that the client is the expert of their own experience. My role is to support you to find solutions that fit your needs.
