It's good that you're here! Or did you expect that you had nowhere else to turn with what you're feeling? Perhaps you've been walking around with questions for a while that you can't quite figure out. Or maybe something happened that affected you more than you expected. Sometimes you barely recognize it: you drag yourself out of bed, feel that everything you do isn't enough, and that voice in your head just keeps rattling on. And then there are moments when life hits you full in the face, such as rejection or the loss of someone dear to you. How do you deal with that without losing yourself?
I am not a standard psychologist. You are probably not a standard client either. Are you looking for psychological help that is just a tad different? Great. Whether you are dealing with (exceptional) giftedness, struggling with sexuality or gender dysphoria, suffering from paralyzing anxiety or depression, or grappling with your identity; you have come to the right place.
Perhaps you are stuck within yourself, or perhaps in your relationship with someone else. Sometimes things get stuck between you and another person, and you feel: it’s not just me, but I do want to understand what is happening. It is precisely this interplay, this clash between desires, patterns, and fears, that is often the gateway to change. Whether that concerns the relationship with a partner, a parent, a child, or with yourself.
For several decades, I have been helping both young people and adults who are stuck on these themes. With me, you won't get standard therapy with distant nods or approving hums, but direct, stimulating conversations from person to person. My treatment is in-depth, honest, and confrontational. I ask sharp questions, use humor, and challenge you to break your patterns. You won't get sweet talk or standard solutions, but rather honest feedback and new insights that are sometimes a little uncomfortable—and that is precisely why they work.
This provocative approach does not mean I lack heart. On the contrary: I believe that genuine commitment goes hand in hand with challenging you. With respect, warmth, and a healthy dose of humor and zest, I will shake you awake where necessary. Real growth can feel scary sometimes, but I am happy to walk alongside you.
In conversation
You need me so you don't need me.
We are going to get to work together, and we mean really work together. Because talking is good, but changing through insight is much better.
I am not a soft touch. That is the reason for my success, and ultimately yours too.
