In my practice, psychotherapy is treated as a combination of Art and Science. The work is guided by intuition, creativity, and curiosity. My background and training are in the depth psychology of C.

Together with my cat assistant Luna, we offer a caring and non-judgmental space for you to express Your Truth.

Do you feel anxious, depressed or ‘stuck’? Perhaps you are struggling to move on from difficult experiences, feel overwhelmed or in constant physical pain.
