Talking about your intimate relationship with a stranger is daunting, so a good atmosphere matters. We get to know each other first, so that it becomes more comfortable to go deeper together.

The secret to a long, healthy relationship is not that there are no problems, but that you work together on the challenges that come your way. I became inspired to do this work when I once read: the secret of our forty-year relationship is that we never disliked each other at the same time. That made it immediately clear that relationships move in waves, with ups and downs, and that it is normal for things not to run smoothly for a while. But there is always one of the two who keeps believing in it, and that is how you keep going together. That is the process I want to guide you through.

As a mother of three, I know from experience that children change a relationship. It is a challenge, but also a beautiful opportunity for depth.

From my many years of experience as a psychologist, working with migrants who often lived with PTSD, I learned to stay alert to the vulnerable moments that really matter. Time and again, what you learned in childhood comes to the surface there. Patterns that were once useful sometimes work less well now. That is part of relationship therapy too. Together we explore how you can update those patterns, so that they serve you again instead of getting in the way. I look forward to bringing your relationship to a better version, together with you.
