 As a psychologist and licensed psychotherapist specialized in cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness and mindful self-compassion I am dedicated to helping individuals presenting with a wide range of emotional, social and psychological difficulties. I will meet you with warmth, empathy, humour and authenticity on which our therapeutic relationship will be based. 

 

My emphasis lies in the treatment of life crises such as burn-outs, self-worth problems, grief and loss, exhaustions, sleeping disorders, procrastination, transitions in life such as graduation, being on the move, child bearing and upbringing, nursing sick and elder family members, problems in relationships. 

Also I treat people with psychiatric disorders (eating disorders, depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, psychosomatic symptoms (pain disorders, tinnitus).

 

Overall I will respect you as an individual regardless of any labels and diagnoses. Together we will explore your strengths and resources to help you overcome your stresses. 

 

We will adjust from a wide range of possible therapeutic methods interventions to your individual needs. In the beginning I will take the time needed to get to know you and your situation. From there we will decide where you want to go on your journey to more fullfillness, inner health and personal strength.
