Sometimes we feel lost, but we are in control. Be in charge of your own life, not out of fear, but out of love. Your path is unique. Dare to live! Problems in child- or adulthood can be diagnosed, but they do not arise 'just like that'. Collaboratively we will work together on finding the root causes for these issues. I focus hereby on attachment, parenting style, present relationship(s) and temperament. If you understand where the problems come from, you are able to address them, with support from the people surround you. If you experience no support, I will support you to mobilize people.

Struggling with feeling run by your ADHD, anxiety, burnout, or a major life transition? I help individuals and couples navigate neurodiversity, caregiving, grief, parenting, perinatal changes, and relationship disconnects. I specialize in supporting women, men, and gender fluid folx who carry emotional weight internally but struggle to express it, often manifesting as irritability or shutdown. In couples work I help partners slow down, understand patterns, improve communication, and rebuild connection in a grounded and collaborative way.

Do you feel like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, but no one really sees it? Have you been through things that are hard to talk about—things that left you feeling stuck, alone, angry, or ashamed?

If you’ve been carrying the feeling that you’re not good enough—constantly questioning yourself, worrying about disappointing others, or fearing rejection—you are not alone. You might replay conversations, overthink messages, struggle to say no, seek reassurance, or feel deeply affected by criticism, conflict, or signs of distance from someone you care about. Living this way can be exhausting. You may know logically that you’re capable, lovable, and doing your best, yet still struggle to feel it emotionally. These patterns aren’t signs of weakness or failure. They often develop as ways of protecting yourself.

Are you in a relationship you desperately want to make work, but lately it feels like you’re talking at each other instead of with each other? One of you keeps trying to fix things, pushing for conversations that end in tears, blowups, or shame. The other shuts down, avoids the talks, and just wants things to go back to how they were. Evenings are quiet and disconnected — scrolling, Netflix, video games, separate corners of the couch — because trying to connect feels awkward, tense, or pointless. No one’s needs are being met, but no one is leaving either.
