About Me

With over 30 years' experience as a psychotherapist, I offer compassionate, authentic support. As a training candidate at the CG Jung Institute of Zurich, I guide you to explore inner experiences. We make sense of life's deeper patterns together. This approach creates a truly welcoming space for discovery and growth. Clients seeking an empathetic, seasoned professional will find a dedicated partner. We work together towards greater well-being.

Approach

What shapes the work is steady, curious attention to your inner life and the patterns that show up in dreams, body sensations, and daily choices. We explore symbolic meaning and practical changes in equal measure, helping you feel clearer, more grounded, and more able to navigate transitions and loss.
