With a focus on personal growth and development, my aim is to help you to act by reflecting. By connecting to your inner guide and helping you move towards your values from a place of authenticity, you can connect to the real wisdom that comes from within.
I am a licensed practitioner and work independently as well as with trusted and highly qualified partners. Next to my private practice, I am the co-founder of Experiential Training Institute- offering Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy programs.

Explore your roots to grow
Picture an oak tree's journey from a tiny acorn to a towering giant. This transformation mirrors personal growth and healing—developing deep roots, weathering storms, and reaching for the light.
As a psychologist and sexologist, I guide individuals through their transformative journeys. Like the oak's roots exploring the soil, I help clients delve deep into their psyches, uncovering and understanding their inner world. Each part, like the tree's branches and leaves, plays a crucial role in the whole.
Tailored sessions accelerate this process, while retreat programs offer a safe space for profound insights and emotional release. Psychedelics can act as catalysts, enabling deeper self-exploration and healing under guided supervision.
Understanding that our intimate selves are intertwined with overall well-being, I help clients transform their relationships with emotions like shame, guilt, anger, and desire. This leads to a more authentic and fulfilling expression of sexuality.
The journey from acorn to oak is one of resilience and transformation. As your therapist, I will walk alongside you, providing guidance and support to help you grow into the strong, resilient individual you are meant to be. Together, we will cultivate a harmonious relationship with your inner selves and others.
Background
With advanced post-doctorate training in human behaviour, psychology, clinical sexology, and systems therapy, I offer the tools and guidance to help you achieve your personal and relational goals. Integrating deep inner journeys can powerfully catalyze conversations between your conscious and subconscious mind.
I've discovered that relationships go beyond love. I felt lost in my own, disconnected from myself and my feelings. Letting go made me find my truth and authenticity, ultimately leading to a deeper connection with myself and others. This wasn’t easy.
My personal journey inspired me to study relationships and behaviour, culminating in clinical psychology and couples therapy degrees, with a specialization in sexology. Exploring relationships through a therapeutic psychedelic lens revealed profound insights.
Driven by my own experiences, I developed Intensive Programs to fast-track relationship building. Despite a privileged global life, I felt restless until I embraced my true self. Understanding cultural nuances, stress, and emotional wear and tear enriches my approach.
Having lived an international life during which I was a wife, mother, and professional psychologist, I bring diverse insights to my practice. My vision is to move beyond illness and pathology, using my education and life experiences to resolve relational issues. I encourage clients to live their truth, fostering lasting, intimate relationships.
My goal is to help you establish deep, lasting connections—with yourself, your partner, or your family. Our conversations will inspire new thinking, perceptions, and behaviours.
