Codependency Therapists in Lucerne

I am committed to support those who want to observe their life from a different perspective. Committed to working on your well-being and mental health. Through listening and reflection, an encounter takes place that enables creativity and change. For young adults, adults and couples.

«Grüezi & Hello». I am pleased that you have found my profile - welcome. Do you sometimes feel that despite great effort you somehow can't get where you want to go? Entangled fears, old beliefs, an addiction or a current crisis strongly influence your life? I want you to know: you are not alone in this. Being human is often anything but easy.

Do you often miss your True Authentic Self? In other words, do you struggle to make own decisions because you fear judgment or hate upsetting others? Do you feel like you sometimes stand in your own way of living your potentials? Do you want to take your life and life time very seriously, yet, feel stuck and don't know how to actually manifest your visions and calling into reality?

I am a philosophical counselor with more than ten years' experience consulting in Italy, Switzerland, and the US. I've worked in the sexuality program at the California Institute for Integral Studies. My aim as a counselor is to enable you to "think through" compelling questions, decisions in your life to gain a greater sense of personal freedom, ethical clarity, and a sense of renewed vitality. In this work I draw upon my advanced training in classical and continental philosophy: my PhD in philosophy was completed at Sorbonne in Paris, and my philosophical consulting was completed in New York

I always learn from the teens, young adults & families I’ve worked with, but this is most important for me to remember: Even behaviors that may appear ineffective from the outside looking in, usually have wisdom at their core. When a person is in pain, they generally want to feel better. My clients all come to therapy because what they’ve been doing to feel better ultimately isn’t working any longer. We work together to address what’s at the core of their pain & focus on managing that more effectively, without negative repercussions. We will together build a set of skills to help them feel more empowered & effective in their life.

Have overwhelming events of the past marked your relationships with yourself and the world? Does your present life context trigger difficult emotional reactions, interpersonal or professional challenges? Do you suffer from lingering mental health issues and want to improve your wellbeing? Therapy can provide a safe transformational opportunity to explore and heal what is difficult in your life. My role is to offer you a confidential and non-judgmental space for understanding, processing and learning how to manage unresolved, often conflicting feelings, thoughts and actions which impact quality of your life and relationships.

“Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways.” Sigmund Freud. I would like to invite you to a safe space of a co-created relationship, where you can talk without being judged, make meaning of what you have been going through, and co-discover this meaning in free association. I am trained in contemporary psychoanalysis, gestalt and expressive arts therapies as well as crisis interventions.

I specialize in difficulties with emotion regulation, interpersonal relationships, and the relationship with oneself. I help my clients get in touch with their inner child, learn how to listen to their emotions, validate them, and autoregulate in a safe, healthy way. I also help them with escaping vicious circles. To do so, we work together on the problematic behaviors and beliefs relying on openness, kindness, and lack of judgment. I am sensitive to difficulties encountered by sexual minorities LGBTQ+, neurodivergent adults and expats.
