In today's society, we often measure our self-worth by our achievements, which can sometimes overshadow our intrinsic value and lead to stress. This is especially true for high achievers with extensive self-demands. I work with them to understand underlying pressures and foster self-compassion. Here, I invite you to mindfulness-based stress reduction without the pressure of self-optimization.
Through my work experience with traumatized queer refugees who have faced constant devaluation, I have developed a systemic, constructivist, culturally, and queer-sensitive approach. This approach shows me that everyone can find resources and retell their life stories in constructive ways.
The future is unpredictable in its complexity. I support you to nurture a self in the here and now that will be kind and compassionate to us in this uncertain future. Heavy feelings are not simply bad; they often carry important messages for us, and we can learn to listen to them gently.
I sincerely believe it is courageous to reach out and address things that worry us. Daily challenges can drown out our inner voice, but together, we can create a safer* space to truly listen, in a way that’s suitable for you.
