Carl Jung once said, "The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are". 

I began my studies in psychology in the late 1990s and have since continued to deepen my training in systemic, integrative and depth-oriented approaches.

Over the years, my understanding of change has evolved.
I no longer see transformation as something that happens simply through insight or intellectual understanding. In my experience, real change begins when we are willing to come into contact with our lived experience -to give it space, to listen to it, and to honour what it carries.

Often, what we try to overcome is asking first to be acknowledged. When experience is met with presence rather than avoidance, something shifts. Not because we force it, but because we allow it to teach us what it holds.

My work is grounded in this kind of attentive and respectful exploration. I am particularly interested in how personal history, relational dynamics and professional roles shape our inner positioning and how bringing awareness and dignity to those patterns can open new possibilities.

My training includes systemic constellations, transactional analysis, trauma-informed approaches (including EMI and AMDR), mindfulness and other integrative methods developed over years of practice.

These frameworks support the work, but the process itself is always shaped by the person in front of me and the pace at which their experience can unfold.
I do not aim to fix or direct your life.
I offer a steady space in which you can encounter yourself more fully. From that contact, change becomes possible.

Let me share a story with you...
​
Once there was a woman who lived in a house with many many many rooms. Most of them were well arranged -bright, organised, functional. But there was one door she rarely opened. Behind this door there was a room which was filled with all the things she did not know where to place: old albums full of haunting memories, her mother's vinyl player full of dust and unspoken grief, her doll from childhood with a tint of anger she had never allowed herself to feel, longings she had postponed and questions she had silenced.
For years, she tried to live comfortably in the rest of this grandiose house.
She kept busy. She improved the lighting. She redecorated. But something always felt slightly tense -as if the whole structure was leaning toward that closed door which she couldn't take out of the back of her mind.
One day, and without understanding why, something in her decided simply to open that door...this time she sat inside the room and stay...
She did not clean it.
She did not try to rearrange it.
She did not re-decorate it...she simply sat.
To her surprise and slowly, what had felt chaotic settled inside her and a new feeling, a new thought, a new sensation began to reveal itself. With no judgement she stood up and went out of the room but this time she did not need to close the door.  

A Few Personal Notes

My professional path has been shaped not only by training, but by lived experience.

I learned early in life that loss and uncertainty can alter the ground beneath us. The death of my mother and my father’s illness confronted me with questions I could not ignore. Those years marked the beginning of a long inner journey - one that continues.

Twenty years ago, I left my homeland to build a life abroad. Living between cultures has taught me about identity, belonging and the quiet courage required to begin again.

I remain committed to my own inner work. I invest in supervision and continued development, because I believe we can only accompany others as far as we are willing to go ourselves.

I am also an artist. Creativity has always been a language through which I explore complexity, contradiction and transformation. It informs how I work: not to impose form, but to allow meaning to emerge.

I have worked with young people in school settings, and I am a mother of two.

These experiences continue to deepen my understanding of generational patterns, responsibility and the desire to create more freedom for those who come after us.
​
My life, like anyone’s, has included struggle. What has changed over time is not the absence of difficulty, but my relationship to it.
And that relationship continues to evolve...
