About me
Since 2022 I've been a certified systemic family and couples therapist, with a passion for helping individuals and couples navigate their journeys towards healing and growth. My practice is inclusive and welcoming to individuals of all gender identities and orientations. Many of my clients are queer, trans, non-binary or others. But I am also happy to work with straight people :)
I am inspired by how far we can grow while remembering that we are only human.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CoachingRecommended for those who want support and motivation to achieve personal or professional goals, often with a structured, goal-oriented approach.
Systemic coachingRecommended for those who want to improve their personal or professional relationships by understanding how they function within larger systems.
Systemic therapyRecommended for those who want to understand how their relationships and environments influence their behavior and emotions, particularly within family or organizational systems.
Couples Therapy: using systemic approches and tools, we explore how to better deal with issues within your relationship, enhance communication, and rediscover the joy in each other's company. Whether you're facing conflicts, communication breakdowns, or seeking to strengthen your bond, I help you to create a safe space for you to explore, learn, and grow together.
Individual Therapy: Personal growth and self-discovery are integral to leading a fulfilling life. Through individual therapy, we delve into your inner world, fostering self-awareness, self-compassion, and empowerment. Together, we'll work towards building a better relationship with yourself, increasing satisfaction, and achieving your personal goals.
The Work: I offer a unique coaching method known as "The Work," which involves identifying and questioning the thoughts that contribute to your suffering. Through this process, you can find clarity, peace of mind, and a deeper understanding of yourself.
