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 view each of my clients as unique and thus their needs and presenting problems as unique. Therefore, I do not believe that one method or technique works for everyone. 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.

You want to wake up excited about your life, but lately that’s felt like a far off dream. Life as an immigrant or expat in Switzerland hasn’t turned out like you thought it would.

Whether you’re trying to adjust to a new country, feeling stuck in old patterns, or just craving more peace and purpose, you are not alone. Therapy with me can help you heal, reconnect with yourself, and build a life that feels like yours again.

Feeling as though you are carrying too much on your shoulders, without knowing how to lighten it? Are you grieving the loss of a loved one, or moving through a separation or divorce where the pain hasn’t eased. Are you trying to become pregnant and finding the journey far harder than you expected, or navigating pregnancy or the postpartum period and struggling to feel the joy you were told should come naturally. Living with the impact of past experiences that still feel present—sometimes this shows up as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, numbness, or a sense of being stuck?

We will build a shared understanding of current difficulties, and together will identify your hopes, goals and needsI draw from psychological evidence-based approaches to inform your unique treatment plan.

I'm a Psychosexual-and-Relationship-Therapist who supports English-speaking individuals and couples seeking help with intimacy and relationships. In my practice, I work with a range of sex-related concerns, including sexual desire, confidence, anxiety or performance anxiety, sex after trauma, vaginismus, erections, pain, orgasms, ejaculation, menopause, compulsive sexual behaviours and more. My approach is collaborative, relational, and trauma-informed. I see sexual difficulties as woven into our emotions, relationships, and body, and I focus on our work being integrated rather than “treating” any issues in isolation.

We can all find life uncertain and overwhelming at times. Sometimes a crisis arises that feels unresolvable without professional help, or maybe events from the past weigh on us for no apparent reason. I have found the most common reasons to seek psychotherapy are related to depression, stress, anxiety, challenges with eating, and relationship problems. Experience shows that our psyche is able to bring itself back into balance and heal itself, given the right circumstances. Therapy provides a supportive environment to discuss such concerns, explore underlying causes and strengthen our ability to make desired life changes.

Have you always felt different from the people around you? Maybe your mind never stops analysing, you get overwhelmed faster than others, or you’ve spent years masking just to fit in. You might be autistic, ADHD, highly sensitive, queer, or childfree – or simply someone who doesn’t feel at home in the “standard” way of living. From the outside it looks like you’ve got it all together, but under the surface you’re running on fumes – and you’ve started wondering if life really has to feel this hard.

I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can share your challenges, and we can explore them with compassion and curiosity.

Often, we can feel overwhelmed, stuck, or no longer like ourselves. This may show up as burnout, anxiety, or the impact of trauma, illness, or life transitions—even when we understand what’s happening. Many people I work with are navigating change, high-pressure environments, or life as an expat. Together, we create a grounded, supportive space to slow down and listen more deeply to both mind and body, helping you process what feels overwhelming, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with more stability and clarity.

I work with individuals, couples, and families facing relational difficulties — repeating conflict, growing distance, or communication that breaks down when it matters most. Many arrive feeling stuck, unheard, or unsure how to reconnect with the people closest to them: couples weighing a decision about their relationship, families navigating tension across life transitions, or individuals whose struggles are tied to their relationships. I help clients move from feeling stuck to feeling capable, offering space to understand what's really happening beneath the conflict and build the tools to relate differently.

FAQs - About Therapy and Counselling

How can I find a therapist inLavaux-Oron District?

Search for nearby therapists or counsellors by inputting your city, town, or suburb; or postcode; or a provider’s name into the search bar. From there, you can filter providers by the issues they treat, cost, insurance, gender, and other factors to find providers who are well-suited to your needs. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or postcode into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
