About me
I support people in navigating through difficult times and challenges in life, namely emotional eating, substance use, family conflict, relationship difficulties, self-esteem problems and Expat difficulties.
My clinical experiences include working at the fasting clinic Buchinger-Wilhelmi in Marbella and the Kusnacht Practice in Zürich. These experiences have shaped my holistic understanding of mental health, highlighting the close connection between our psychological, physical and emotional well-being.
Currently, I am pursuing my PhD in Clinical Psychology. This allows me to deepen my knowledge in this field and stay up-to-date on the newest findings in research.
I offer therapy in German, English & Spanish.

Approach
My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), with a focus on understanding the deeper patterns behind our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. I believe that meaningful change begins with understanding why we think, feel and act the way we do, rather than simply trying to change what we do.
Together, we explore how past experiences, core beliefs, and learned coping strategies may influence the way you experience yourself and the world around you. We look at patterns that may once have helped you cope but no longer serve you, and work towards developing new perspectives and healthier ways of responding to life's challenges.
I see therapy as a collaborative process, shaped by your individual experiences, needs, and goals. My aim is to create a space where you can explore difficult thoughts and emotions without judgement, gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and develop practical tools to create lasting change.
