Psychotherapy
& Coaching 

I work with people who sense that something isn’t quite right - who carry both the hope that change is possible and the courage to ask for support in the process. 

My Aproach

  • It's is trauma-informed, mindfulness-oriented, and grounded in prosocial values.

  • Sessions are available in English and held online.

  • I draw from Jungian psychology, Integral Theory, Interpersonal Neurobiology and developmental coaching.

  • We choose each other: It's a mutual, reciprocal decision.

  • People often describe our sessions as clarifying, grounding, and quietly transformative. 

  • Sessions can be reimbursed through private insurance, depending on coverage.

About Me

I am a medical doctor with a background in Sports Medicine and Health, now working as a health tech consultant and training in Jungian psychotherapy

My career began in hospitals and clinics, where care was often reduced to treating the body: Repairing what was broken. But it quickly became clear that something essential was missing. I wanted to understand not just the person in front of me, but what had led them to illness, and what kept the system locked in patterns that often failed to heal.

This led me to explore psychology, human behaviour, and the broader structures of healthcare (from public systems to private insurance) to understand how care is shaped at every level.

The path hasn’t been linear. I first trained as a cardiologist, then moved into sports medicine and character development. Over time, I realized I was most drawn to improving the systems around care: Making healthcare more efficient, more human, and more attuned to modern needs.

Today, I bring together medicine, psychology, and business to support people and projects working toward a more human, connected, and coherent kind of healthcare.

These inform how I support people and organizations: through presence, insight, and practical strategy.

Consulting

Start-ups and Health Tech
Innovation 

I’m particularly drawn to the emerging space where AI, behavioral science, and human-centered medicine intersect.

My offer

The focus is on helping health tech ventures design tools and services that genuinely support care.

​

Support may include:

  • Aligning product direction with clinical realities

  • Designing tools that are ethically sound and behaviourally effective

  • Navigating early growth with a systemic, strategic lens

  • Bridging medical, technical, and human perspectives in product development

​

Startups working at the frontier of care (whether streamlining workflows, improving data flows, or reducing clinician burden), benefit from clinical insight paired with a whole-systems view.

 

Depending on your needs, collaboration can take the form of medical advisory, CMO, or deeper partnership.

​​

My vision

To be part of the future of health care.

​

If the goal is to combine innovation with care for the human experience, there’s likely something meaningful we can build together.

 

If you’re building at the frontier of AI and human-centered care, I’d love to hear about your project.
