About me

As a psychologist I’ve worked a lot with issues related to stress management, burn out and self-criticism.  I also like to work with issues related to social anxiety, study motivation and learning.  My goal is to help my clients to feel better and find new ways to relate to difficult situations and emotions. 

The process in a short therapy begins with getting a good understanding of client’s situation and setting the goal for the process together.  In addition to discussions, I also use mind and body practices and mindfulness practices if they are helpful for the client. 

I find that the mind-body connection is important for our well-being, and I try to encourage my clients to listen to their body. Besides of my work as a psychologist, I also work as a masseur and as a taichi instructor. That has helped me to get a deeper insight into the connection between the mind and the body.
