About me

I was born in Israel and came to Germany with my family as a child. As a young adult, I was fascinated by the possibilities of spiritual development, meditated, worked on my own satisfaction and became interested in clinical and philosophical psychology. As a psychologist, I then delved into systemic therapy, depth psychology and humanistic psychology. Towards the end of my studies, I became interested in historical Buddhism, had extended meditation retreats in monasteries and got my doctorate in Historical Buddhism in 2021. After extensive stays abroad, I emigrated to Georgia in 2013 and to Poland in 2015, where I still live. My experiences in Europe, North America and Asia allow me to support clients who live abroad themselves and have to deal with the complex issues of expat life.

After my studies, I initially worked as a management consultant and delved into the depths of corporate cultures. After a steep learning curve, I was too bothered by the corporate concern with efficiency and profit, and that as a consequence many employees suffer from stress. Since then, I have worked as a therapist, as a teacher in universities, and incorporate into my therapeutic work unusually deep insights into the mind.

Privately, I lead a quiet life with my girlfriend outside of Warsaw, with walks, meditation, film classics, philosophical reading and good food.

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.
