As a therapist, I monitor the client’s emotional state and support them in managing the emotions that come up.

When we as human beings understand we are not alone in our suffering, and that someone cares we begin to understand ourselves in a new and more positive manner. We slowly transform from isolated child to emotionally engaged adult.

Emotions are the way our brain informs us of something important. Essentially our brain is saying: wake up, pay attention: THIS MATTERS!

In my work with couples, I aim to narrow in on the emotional experience of both people in the relationship. To achieve this, I work hard to create an environment in which both members of the relationship feel comfortable sharing. In other words, the most important element I work for is creating a non-judgmental space for you both to come together and then share.

“Self-care is an important element of resilience because when we take appropriate care of ourselves, we are more able to meet the challenges life sends our way.”

Only when a deeper level of understanding is created, can we begin to explore new healthier ways of behaving and a different manner of feeling emerges.

Put simply there is no bigger gift you can give your relationship than exploring the emotions underneath the arguments. That's because when we understand what affects our partner at its root, we can support them and be supported by them to a much deeper level. You become truly in sync with each other.

Hobbies with friends like Kalle who is featured in the photo above are great ways to process stress.

My experience also tells me that to gain a deeper level of clarity we need to foster an empathic and curious relationship with the parts of ourselves that gives us trouble.
