Between science
& inner dynamics

Since I was little, I have always been fascinated by the human psyche—an interest that led me from clinical work with offenders and acute psychiatric clinics to international research.

A key insight emerged from this journey: empathy is not a soft concept, but rather a precise psychological tool. When employed appropriately, it can reduce stress, and foster resilient relationships.

As a psychologist holding a doctorate, specializing in investigative, forensic and legal psychology, and having completed a 3 year theoretical course on psychodynamic psychotherapy, I now integrate all this knowledge into my practice.

I guide individuals in understanding unconscious dynamics, enabling them to act with confidence and effectiveness—even in challenging situations.

My approach

Understanding depth, enable change

During my clinical training in acute and forensic psychiatric clinics/hospitals, I had a formative experience regarding just how effective genuine empathy can be—even in critical/high risk conversations: it opens up spaces where reflection becomes possible again.

This experience shaped my professional focus: Why do we not harness this potential much sooner—for instance, in critical situations where everything is at stake?

In my practice, I work on the basis of psychodynamic psychotherapy, where together we will address unconscious conflicts and patterns from the past in order to establish stability today and resilience for the future. The goal is to help you develop your own "safe space"—one that permanently safeguards your resilience and sense of personal agency.
