Individual
& Couples Therapy
in Zürich and online
If you’re in a difficult moment of your life, you want to know yourself better or wish to work on problems in your relationship – therapy can help.
Therapy is a form of professional help you can reach for when feeling overwhelmed. At some point, you may not be able to cope with your problems on your own anymore. During the therapy sessions, we can look at your difficulties together in order to understand what is really happening and how it can be changed.
Therapy is also a practice of becoming more self aware. Together with a therapist, you will learn to recognise your thoughts and feelings and connect with your body, which will bring you closer to experiencing life more fully and consciously.
About me

I am dedicated to providing a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals and couples to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. My approach is rooted in empathy, acceptance, respect, and authenticity, as I believe in the inherent healing that comes from human relationships.

It was when I stopped searching for home within others and lifted the foundations of home within myself I found there were no roots more intimate than those between a mind and body that have decided to be whole.

How long does therapy take?
Although we often hope for a quick betterment, especially in a crisis, therapy can take time. This however is not a flaw as this time will allow you to know yourself and your relationship with the world better. Sometimes, when solving one particular issue is the aim, you can decide for short-term therapy that takes several sessions. Usually therapy takes longer, it is a process that develops over time which allows to work on much deeper level.
Our deepest, most profound stirrings of self-appreciation, self-love and self-knowledge surface in the presence of the person whom we experience as totally accepting.
