I practice psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
Psychotherapy is a long term treatment that focuses on gaining insight into the underlying causes of emotional problems.
The aim is to understand how we relate to each other and the world, and how we experience events on a conscious and unconscious level.
Our hidden feelings inform our behaviour and the way we relate to others.
With our therapeutical work, we aim to bring to consciousness the most latent sentiments and give them space to transform.
My approach is influenced by three elements:
10 years of clinical training and practice in psychoanalytic psychotherapy
20 years experience of working across diverse cultures in complex urban settings both in the US and Europe
20 years experience of working/studying arts and media
As a psychotherapist, I offer you a safe, confidential environment from which to explore difficult feelings.
I am with you throughout your therapeutical journey. I believe that angst arises from our life experiences which are unique to us: through listening and conversations, I aim for you to find your own solution.
