Long before I knew that I would become a therapist, I felt drawn to the deeper layers of language and communication: What does a person say by the way that they say something? What is expressed in what is left unsaid, in the way someone makes contact or avoids it, uses their body, etc.? What began as a fascination with the unspoken eventually led me beyond the field of literature into the therapeutic profession.
My academic roots lie in the humanities, but my real education came from overcoming personal hardships. A failed marriage. Years of therapy that brought many |

insights but little change. Today I know that these were not detours or failures—they were initiations. They taught me the difference between insight and embodied experience, and that this is what matters in therapeutic transformations.
It was only when I encountered Bioenergetic Analysis that things really began to change. The body became an important bridge in this process. With this integrative method, in which movement, voice, and psychodynamic depth flow together, I finally found a way that not only explained the past to me, but that actually changed my present.

Today, my work focuses on treating early developmental trauma and personality adjustments, particularly those on the so-called narcissistic spectrum. I draw on a wide range of methods: body psychotherapy (bioenergetic analysis), trauma treatment methods (TRE), NLP, coaching, and shamanic perspectives based on my many years of experience with the Shipibo-Conibo tradition in the Peruvian Amazon.
But all these approaches have one thing in common: Change begins with feeling and feeling begins in the body. |
The goal of my work is not to “fix,” save, or interpret people—but to accompany you honestly and attentively as you learn to listen to yourself better. Sometimes humorous, sometimes challenging. But always with respect for your pace, your integrity, and your truth.
With warm regards,
