My background is in Special Education and Psychology. I have over 16 years experience as a therapist in Europe and the US, and specialized training in Hypnotherapy, Psychosynthesis, Gestalt Therapy, Inner Child Work, Psychodrama, EMDR and Primal Therapy.

I have experienced hundreds hours of my own Deep Feeling/Primal Therapy with a number of different facilitators. It has been an amazing journey that has turned my life around.

When “dark moments” come I have tools and I am able to process heavy feelings and keep enjoying my life. I continue my primal journey and it provides me with powerful opportunities for my personal growth.
