I am sensitive to difficulties encountered by sexual minorities LGBTQ+, neurodivergent adults and expats.
My methods are based on the cognitive-behavioral and emotion-focused approaches and the inner child theory. Although childhood experiences shape our beliefs and attitudes in adult life, we can learn to reverse their influences, unlearn the unhealthy patterns, and replace them with self-care, awareness, and boundaries.

You may be thinking about therapy due to depression, anxiety, loss, stress, burnout, relationship issues, life transitions such as parenthood and retirement. These concerns can feel more overwhelming when we live abroad in unfamiliar surroundings. Medication can provide short-term relief for emotional distress, but there are side effects. You may be concerned about how COVID 19 is affecting your work, your relationships and your life. This pandemic is challenging the world’s mental health in so many ways. You've been coping alone for a while and feel like having someone alongside you to explore your challenges.

I work with adults in Geneva and surrounding areas who are looking for an English-speaking therapist. Are you struggling with a change in your life or with unsettling emotions that are difficult to make sense of? Perhaps you are in the middle of a life transition or perhaps you feel that you are stuck in a repetitive and dull place where it feels hard to move? Have you moved to Switzerland and are struggling to settle?

You might not know at the beginning that your presenting problem is only the surface. We will look together much deeper, at what brought you to that: at your personality.
There is no generic term of "therapy", and not all therapists do meaningful therapy, which is about recognizing the patterns. It is about deep listening behind what is being said and careful observation of what you show in the here and now.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years of experience treating individuals, couples, and families. I work through a Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) framework.

I strongly believe in collaboration, and transparency with my clients. I firmly believe that each clients is the best expert in their own lives and I see myself as an agent who can assist them in reaching the goals that they set for themselves.

LGBTQ+ Counsellors
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialised training, either during their degree programme or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalisation in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialised training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
