Are you suffering from anxiety, depression, stress or difficulties in relationships or parenthood? Are you an expat, multilingual, TCK or minority facing life changes, culture shock or issues tied to identity and gender? Are you involved in the arts or in a creative field and concerned with creativity, performance anxiety, motivation or stage fright?

A successful psychoanalysis can bring about crucial relief from these diverse symptoms, improving your quality of life and empowering you to make choices with increased freedom, unburdened by the weight of the past.

With extensive training in three countries and clinical experience with diverse individuals, I ensure the utmost care, confidentiality, and respect throughout your journey.

As a long-time expat, I am sensitive to the difficulties faced by expats, TCKs, and multilingual clients. Informed by a parallel background in music performance and arts management, I also welcome patients whose challenges relate to creativity, whether in the arts or in other fields.

Whatever challenges you are facing, I am here to listen.
