I value optimistic realism, calmness, and humor just as much as the latest scientific findings. I'm fascinated by understanding how we tick and why we tick the way we do and even more so by the fact that we can influence how we feel. Once you know how, it's really not as difficult as you might have thought.

Areas of Expertise

Anxieties and phobias

Anxiety can stem from body or mind, trigger breathlessness, obsessive thoughts and panic, paralyze or cause feelings of flight. The aim is to recognize anxiety as a warning mechanism and to know how to successfully counteract it.

Chronic diseases (post-Covid, etc.)

Whether it's loss, humiliation, illness or chronic pain, there are things in life that cause more than just sadness. Before it becomes too difficult and dark, I would like to help you see the light again alongside the shadows.

Anxieties and phobias Job & career Chronic diseases (post-Covid, etc.) Depression Eating disorders Family life & parenthood Migration & Culture Bullying & discrimination Couples therapy (1 access per couple) Partnership and sexuality Psychosomatic disorders / bodily dysfunctions School and learning Self-esteem Stress Addictive behaviour Overwork & conflicts (work) Death and grieving Compulsive behavior
