“If not you, then who? If not now, then when? If not here, then where?”

From personal experience, I believe that sometimes it is worth leaving the well-worn path for the unknown one — stepping out of our daily routines to explore our deepest desires, face our fears, and realize the potential within us. At the beginning of this uncharted, challenging, yet exciting journey, it can be invaluable to have someone by your side who supports you with expertise, non-judgment, and objectivity along the path of growth, self-awareness, and healing.
I work with a diverse toolkit, which I apply flexibly, tailored to your personality and the nature of your concerns.

Feel free to contact me with trust and curiosity!

I can offer support in the following areas:

• Anxiety-related issues (e.g., panic, unexplained fears)
• Exploration of self-awareness and personal patterns
• Self-confidence, self-esteem, assertiveness
• Couples counseling
• Career planning and self-actualization
• Managing workplace stress; work-life balance
• Business and life coaching
• Processing traumatic life events
• Crisis counseling during unexpected or overwhelming life situations
• Working through breakups, divorce, and other relational losses
• Difficulties and blocks related to loneliness, being single, or seeking a partner
