About me

I am a doctor, psychologist and psychotherapist specializing in psychedelic states of consciousness. I have been researching, treating and educating in this field for over 15 years.

I have studied with leading experts and traditional healers around the world. I have completed comprehensive psychotherapy training in Gestalt therapy and additional trainings and internships in psychedelic therapy (MDMA, 5-MeO-DMT, ayahuasca, psilocybin). I have a PhD in Clinical and Health Psychology and thousands of hours of psychedelic practice and therapy under my belt.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Gestalt therapyRecommended for those who want to focus on the present and take responsibility for their feelings and actions to promote personal growth.
Psychedelic integration therapyRecommended for those who have had psychedelic experiences and want help understanding and integrating the insights into their everyday life for personal growth and self-discovery.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.

Life and psychedelic experiences can be transformative, but also challenging. I offer a safe space to process, understand and integrate them into everyday life. It doesn't matter where or how the experience was gained - what matters is how we continue to work with it.

My work is based on the following principles:

Safe and respectful environment - I offer a space for open sharing without judgement. Confidentiality and discretion - everything you share remains private, within the ethical framework of my profession. Individual approach - no two stories are the same, so I always tailor the approach to you. Partnership - you are the expert on your life, I support you as a guide. Harm reduction - I support informed and conscious decisions without moralising. Holistic perception - I connect the mental, physical, relational and spiritual planes. Self-healing support - I help you develop your resources and inner strength.
