My first contact with counseling was as a client many years ago. It was the experience of a secure therapeutic relationship that facilitated healing for me and that sparked my curiosity to become a psychologist myself. I perceive it as a privilege to accompany my clients for parts of their lives’ journeys. Through the eyes of each of my clients, I learn new aspects about life, the world, our shared human existence, and relationships – the very fabric that connects us to ourselves, others, society, and humanity as a whole.

I grew up in Central Europe with multiple relocations throughout childhood and adolescence, and during my adult years I have studied and lived in Germany, South Africa, and Kenya.
