About me

I was born in Israel and grew up in Germany. As a young adult, I was fascinated by psychology and what Buddhist practice adds to the understanding of the mind. With now 15 years of international experience, I offer clarity, insight, and understanding in difficult life situations. Together, we solve problems that go far beyond generic advice.

As a psychologist and therapist, my professional path has been shaped by the integration of different traditions and a rich range of life experiences—fully engaged with life, as a partner, as an expat in various cultures, as a researcher, and as a meditation teacher.

Over the years, I have developed a therapeutic style that is emotionally honest, insight-oriented, grounded, and at the same time practical and solution-focused. Many clients come to me when they sense that simple or standardized approaches are not enough to reach the deeper layers of their difficulties. They value that my work offers no ready-made answers, but instead brings together genuine curiosity, conceptual clarity, and a deep understanding of real, lived life.

Clients often describe me as clear, thoughtful, and highly skilled at articulating what they themselves have felt but not yet understood. My aim is to offer a level of precision and depth that stands in contrast to generic, symptom-focused therapy, or AI-generated content. Real psychological change requires nuanced insight, ethical courage, and relational depth, and these are the conditions I help clients cultivate."

And please replace the text in the "my approach" section with the following text:

"My approach is oriented toward the challenges of the 21st century. I work with expats who find themselves in complex relationships, who feel lonely, struggle with professional pressures, or who wish to experience their inner world in a more vivid and coherent way.

Like most therapists, I began my work with classical therapeutic methods. Over time, however, it became clear to me that these approaches alone are often not sufficient. Since then, I have worked intensively with modern models, seeking to connect a deep understanding of the mind with the concrete realities of my clients’ everyday lives.

The people I work with are usually reflective, capable, and fundamentally open to change. Their difficulties often do not arise from a lack of ability, but from the fact that the pieces of their lives have not yet come together into a meaningful whole. In our shared work, we therefore gently deepen the understanding of thoughts, emotions, and external life circumstances, and bring them into relationship with one another. This kind of careful exploration lays the foundation for genuine and lasting change. Together, we develop an inner compass, conceptual clarity, and practical tools that help you understand yourself more deeply—and support you both in everyday life and on your path forward.

My Approach

I call the approach I have developed "Insight and Integration Therapy". My main focus is for you to understand yourself and your relationships in depth, and to then integrate this understanding into everyday life. As a therapist, I am clear, kind and communicate actively.

My therapy addresses the problem that many people have, namely that they know themselves only partly. This is evident in everyday life if you repeatedly encounter similar problems at work, in your relationships, or in your feelings. Then you probably lose too much energy thinking about the issues, and cannot recharge. The typical result would be that you are regularly in a bad mood, sad, or emotionally numb. I hope that with my support, you will learn to understand your values ​​and needs better, be able to communicate more clearly in difficult situations and thus develop a reliable compass that makes navigating your life much easier.

On this complex journey, I gladly make available to you my experience and expertise as an individual and couples therapist. My goal is for you to feel noticeably better soon. With further insight and integration, the improvement will then become more intuitive and effortless.
