- I’m a couples therapist with more than 7 years of experience. I started my couples journey back in 2013 when I graduated, with training in the first level of Gottman Couples Therapy. Nowadays, I’ve completed all three levels and on my certification step to become a certified Gottman Therapist. In my eyes, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” is not just a movie title, it is also the perfect summary of what you can expect in any given couples session. In addition, I’ve started my journey on PACT Therapy, (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy) and as it is apparent by now, I find emotions fascinating as a subject matter. All the trainings I received about couples translate very well into individual therapy, as emotions are a universal concept, and most daily problems can be traced to the source, our emotions. For example, anxiety is a fear response, and anger management therapy already names the culprit in its definition.
Education and practice
- Working as a self-employed psychotherapist since December 2016
- I trust in my abilities as a psychotherapist in helping my clients regulate, validate and recognize their own emotions. No such thing as being afraid of triggers in my book.
- On an individual therapy level, I can say that stress management and dealing with childhood traumas are my strongest suits, and I can remove anxiety’s grip over my clients with ease.

I’m a psychologist who firmly believes that there is no such thing as a bad emotion. Each one of our emotions has a message to deliver to us, and that includes negative emotions like sadness or concern. Through talk therapy, I can help you discover the root causes of an important, personal question: “Why is it this emotion and not another? Why does something completely ordinary for someone else make me feel this way instead?”
Our emotions are rooted in our experiences. While we need logic to understand the world, we need emotion to make sense of it. With that in mind, here’s a fair warning: I will help you confront your demons, so that you can embrace them. Emotions are hard enough as they are, and I take pride in exploring even the most difficult memories without making the client feel overwhelmed. If you can laugh in the face of a problem, it will no longer feel so overpowering. I can help you – and, if relevant, your partner – find a touch of humor or lightness in frustrating situations. I’ll gladly guide you through case studies, real-world examples, and thousands of pages of research to show exactly how others in similar positions have managed to move forward unscathed.
Psychologist’s motto:
Emotion always wins against logic
