About me

I am passionate about people and stories, and how these stories shape lives, homes, cities, and even this planet. I think we, humans, are extraordinary beings, and we have the privilege to witness in our lifetime unprecedented happenings with our planet and species. Psychologically, I believe that we are going through an awakening and I am proud to be able to contribute to it. I dream about the times when psychology will be taught in schools like reading and writing now. I am amazed about the capacities of the human mind, it's strengths and mechanisms. I have an eclectic, psycho dynamic orientation. I am trained in multiple counseling related fields, stating with NLP and currently in training to become a psychoanalyst. I have been working for over 10 years with patinets online and in my office from diverse backgrouds, from various continents, nationalities, walks of life, including alternate lifestyles, expats, etc. I have extensive training and also over 500 hours of personal therapy, have worked with trainers and supervisors from both Euope and North America. I also have experience with psychedelic therapy.
