I work with children and adults to help them live a happier life. There is no issue too small, if it is impacting your life in a negative way, that is a problem I would be happy to help you overcome. Often people believe that problems like anxiety and depression will just go away on their own, however, unfortunately it usually just becomes stronger without support. CBT therapy offers proven tools and techniques to overcome issues like anxiety and depression and get back to the best version of yourself. I have used CBT therapy myself to overcome my own anxiety and I have not looked back since.

Do you ever feel as though nothing you do is good enough? No one deserves to have devastating symptoms like this control their lives. My telehealth service provides thorough assessment and treatment for many severe conditions, such as depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, psychosis, personality disorders, complex trauma, and PTSD. I also provide therapy for people who may struggle with grief and loss, thoughts of self-harm, sense of worthlessness, challenges associated with neurodiversity (e.g. Autism and ADHD), life transitions and dilemmas, and relationship difficulties. I am also a strong ally of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Many professionals and people in high-demand roles appear to be coping well, yet privately experience anxiety, burnout, or a persistent sense that something isn’t quite right. I work with adults navigating sustained pressure, unrelenting standards, and complex responsibilities, supporting greater clarity, emotional regulation, and more sustainable ways of working and living. My approach is calm, structured, and practical, helping clients think more clearly under pressure and respond rather than react in challenging situations.

I specialise in addiction, self-destructive patterns, adult ADHD, and relationship difficulties. This includes issues such as drinking or using more than intended, compulsive or impulsive behaviours, difficulty controlling emotions, and repeating patterns that create problems in daily life and relationships. I also work with anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, and insomnia, including CBT-I. In couples therapy, I specialise in high-conflict relationships, recurring arguments, and trust issues. Because most of my work takes place in a residential rehabilitation clinic in Switzerland, my private appointments are limited.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, tired, hopeless or lacking joy; like your emotions are uncontrollable or that they do not match with reality; that your worry is getting out of hand or that there is no longer any point, then it might be a good time to seek some support. ​ We are social creatures, and despite what our modern society might have us believe, we all need human connection to function. Seeking support is a huge sign of strength – the strength to actually reach out and let someone in, in order to start the healing process. ​ If you can relate to this or if you have set yourself a personal development goal please reach out.

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming and it can be difficult to see a way forward. We often spend our time ruminating on things we did or that happened to us in the past or we may spend time worrying about things that have yet to happen. This can prevent us from living as fully as possible. Engaging in therapy with a psychologist can offer fresh perspectives and equip you with valuable tools to navigate uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. I am a registered psychologist with a warm, empathic, and curious manner, who aims to collaborate with my clients to provide person-centered, evidence-based and trauma informed treatment.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
