Tired of feeling 'stuck'?  Ready to open the door to new possibilities?

You might have come to this place because of a personal crisis, a rupture or a sense of loss. This might leave you feeling vulnerable and alone.

Or you might be worried about a child that is dear to you: Maybe you are puzzled by his or her behavior and at a loss about how to respond to it. Maybe problems keep persisting, and struggles getting worse despite all your good efforts and intentions. This can leave you hurt and frustrated.

It does not have to stay like that. In my work with children, teens and adults I see that it is possible to get 'unstuck' and move forwards again. I am here to help you with this.

Although reaching out for help can be a difficult threshold to cross, you have already taken the first step, and opened the door to a space were true change and a little more satisfaction can happen: in your life, in the relationships with your loved ones.

It all starts with a time and a space reserved just for you. Call me if you are interested in giving yourself this gift of your time and your space. I am looking forward to hearing from you and to see how we can make it better. It's easy to enter:

Parents, looking to help your child, lift the curtain.  
Kids, use the key. 
Adults, through the door. You will fit!

Any questions? Don't hesitate to ask!

We will be happy to answer. You can reach me at

I am looking forward to hearing from you! 

“Helping you move forwards toward the life you want: ‘More in tune with who you are, more connected to the ones you love.’”

People often consult a therapist with concerns related to:

  • anxiety

  • depression

  • loss and unresolved grief

  • stress

 

  • low self-esteem

  • loneliness

  • moodiness, irritability, emotional reactivity

 

  • relationship conflicts

  • trauma

  • creative block

 

Often what is bothering people is not so easily named, and does not exactly correspond to a commonly used label. Whatever brings you in, psychoanalytically oriented work can allow what distresses you to emerge in a new light, something new can become possible.
