WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE?

You don’t have to work
it all out on your own.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, down or disconnected, or simply wanting space to understand yourself better. We can start wherever you are. I offer support with:

  • Stress, anxiety & overwhelm
  • Low mood, loneliness & feeling stuck
  • Relationship difficulties & recurring patterns
  • Life transitions—moving abroad, work and career changes, becoming a parent, facing uncertainty
  • Grief & loss
  • Identity, belonging & self-worth
  • Reflection & personal growth

MY APPROACH

We begin with what’s happening for you, here and now.

I base my work on Gestalt principles and methods. In our conversations, we pay attention to what you’re thinking, feeling, and sensing in your body. Together, we might slow down and notice how you respond to situations, explore patterns that feel stuck, and experiment with new ways of relating.

I’m interested in getting to know you and understanding what life feels like from your perspective. Building trust matters to me, so I also want to know when I’ve misunderstood you or missed something important. Alongside listening, I may challenge you—with care, and sometimes a little playfulness.

I welcome people of all backgrounds, identities, and lifestyles.

ABOUT ME

A life across cultures.

I grew up in Guatemala, studied in the U.S., taught English in Asia, and now live here, in Munich, with my wife and young son. Along the way, I’ve become deeply curious about the different paths people take through life—the experiences, relationships, and choices that shape us.

“Every person’s life is worth a novel.”

— Erving Polster

I’ve also known what it’s like to feel that there isn’t much room to be myself. This is a big part of what draws me to counseling: offering a space where you can feel welcome as you are. I find a lot of satisfaction in bringing my curiosity and sensitivity to this work.
