My approach
For more than a decade I've been working with and around relationships as a consultant, coach and therapist. I provide sessions that help couples and individuals come to terms with their relationship to each other and self and explore new ways of living and being within a relationship.
You can expect an empathetic, accommodating and non-judgmental approach, as my personal experience is in line with my professional practice, making it easier to understand couples from different backgrounds and places, including international families, long-distance relationships and expats.
I am trained in the psychoanalytic psychodynamic paradigm, which helps uncover the hidden underlying dynamics of relationships. Additionally, I specialize in coaching which employs a more direct and proactive approach. That said, I would describe my helping approach as integrative and adaptive, as I see each person as a unique being and thus work in a holistic way - with people, not with problems.
