About me
As a fellow expat who has lived in Switzerland, the UK, the Netherlands, and Czechia, I love working with international clients navigating life across cultures.
I particularly enjoy working with clients experiencing:
- high-functioning anxiety (general, health, social)
- stress and burnout
- perfectionism / high standards
- people-pleasing
- inability to rest, relax or switch off
- a strong sense of responsibility
- chronic illness / autoimmune issues (histamine intolerance, MCAS, POTS, EDS)*
- women's health (PMS, PMDD, endometriosis, PCOS, infertility, menopause)*
Alongside my clinical work, I have a strong interest in the science of the mind-body connection. I regularly study areas such as:
- neuroscience
- stress physiology
- the gut-brain connection
- hormonal health
- immunity and inflammation
- the nervous system
I integrate insights from these fields into therapy to better understand how psychological and physical processes interact.
I also have a particular interest in women’s health. My master’s thesis explored the relationship between menstrual cycle phases and mood in women — an area that remains under-researched yet deeply relevant for many people’s mental wellbeing.
I especially welcome clients struggling with:
- premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
- premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD)
- premenstrual exacerbation (PME)

Approach
Therapy with me tends to be thoughtful, curious, and collaborative — with space for both deep reflection and practical tools.
My core clinical training is in cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), an evidence-based, structured, and goal-oriented approach, that helps identify and change patterns in thoughts, emotions and behavior. It is very effective for specific issues related to anxiety (general, social, health).
For more complex or long-standing issues, I also draw from other therapeutic approaches including:
- schema therapy
- internal family systems (IFS)
- body-based practices (nervous system regulation)
Together we will identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop practical strategies to help you move forward.
We will set goals and frequently review progress so that you can see and feel positive changes as soon as possible.
Between sessions I will provide practical, targeted exercises and reflections designed to consolidate your learning and accelerate progress. Over time you will build a toolkit of skills and resources that you can use independently.
