About me
My work is grounded in extensive training and clinical experience in systemic, strategic, solution-focused, and somatic therapy. I studied and worked at the Mental Research Institute in Palo Alto with Paul Watzlawick and Richard Fisch, trained with the founders of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and completed a four-year certification in Analytic-Somatic / Bioenergetic Therapy. My somatic work was strongly influenced by experiential approaches developed at the Esalen Institute.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Family therapyRecommended for families who want to resolve conflicts, improve communication, and understand each other better within the family dynamic.
Solution-focused therapyRecommended for those who want quick, practical solutions to their problems without focusing too much time on the past.
Systemic therapyRecommended for those who want to understand how their relationships and environments influence their behavior and emotions, particularly within family or organizational systems.
I mostly work with high-functioning adults who are seeking meaningful change. Common themes include relationship challenges, loneliness (often among expats), work-related stress such as work-life balance, difficulties with colleagues, anxiety, performance pressure, and dissatisfaction with career progression.
I also work with women during the prenatal and postnatal stages, and with parents navigating challenges related to parenting and family life.
I work integratively and eclectically, drawing on methods from different schools of psychotherapy in a way that is pragmatic, individualized, and effective.
