As your therapist I will offer a safe and authentic space. Together we will explore what is causing symptoms or problems and develop an approach that best suits you to overcome these obstacles.
"You can’t go back and change the beginning. But you can start where you are and change the ending." - C.S. Lewis, Irish author
I originally trained as an aerospace engineer and experienced the normal craziness of a highly demanding environment. In this field, I have repeatedly demonstrated my ability to both integrate complex problems into the bigger picture and analyze and address them down to the smallest detail. My clients benefit from this skill today, because nothing is more complex than the human mind. Working in a large company also nurtured my lifelong interest in people and their interactions, and I became increasingly involved in the field of work-life balance. At the same time, I sought ways to achieve lasting positive transformation for myself, as I could function perfectly well without being particularly happy, and decided to change careers.
My personal experiences formed the foundation for my in-depth training in systemic therapy and systemic trauma therapy, enabling me to provide individualized and sensitive support to my clients. I am now supporting adults in overcoming big and small hurdles in life through therapy – independent of whether the root of the issue is in the present or in the past.
Clients commonly come to therapy with an array of concerns, such as:
You can book an appointment directly through my website for an introductory phone call or an in person session: www.mind-and-heart.com (Online sessions scheduled individually)
We will cooperate on finding a tailored approach for the problem at hand.
In Systemic Therapy problems or symptoms are viewed as an unfortunate attempt to solve another problem and therefore symptoms, that might be considered “ill” or “severe”, are understandable reactions to the outer and inner environment. The aim is to find alternative strategies to resolve the underlying problem and therefore make the current problematic solution obsolete.
In Systemic Trauma Therapy we look at tending to injured parts within the self or overcome burdening experiences in other ways (e.g. CIPBS). With traumatic topics I take extra care to ensure that the process fits the client.
