About Me
Since 2018, I have worked as a senior behavioral expert, helping individuals and teams navigate complex challenges and foster meaningful change. My work focuses on among others psychological safety, group dynamics, leadership behavior, communication, and building “speak-up” cultures. By creating environments where people feel secure and heard, I support growth, collaboration, and resilience.
The foundation of my approach lies in a deep understanding of human development, trauma, and the working of the body. My journey into this work began with a desire to uncover how early experiences shape who we are. I completed an intensive four-year training in early trauma, attachment theory, and child development, which gave me profound insight into how our earliest relationships and environments influence our emotional and psychological well-being.
To deepen my practice further, I trained in Somatic Experiencing, a powerful approach to resolving trauma and restoring resilience through body awareness. This method profoundly shaped how I work, offering a framework to address not just symptoms but also the underlying patterns of stress and survival responses. In my experience, Somatic Experiencing provides one of the most comprehensive tools for healing and growth, connecting body, mind, and emotion in a transformative way.
Earlier in my career, I explored systemic work, including family and organizational constellations, which illuminated the broader dynamics of relationships and intergenerational patterns. These insights helped me understand how systems—whether familial or organizational—profoundly impact individual behavior and experiences.
Before entering into this field, I worked in the corporate world, first in audit and later as a specialist in Mergers and Acquisitions. While this work sharpened my analytical and strategic thinking, I realized my passion lay in understanding drivers of people's experiences and behaviors, and supporting their growth.
Today, I bring together this diverse background—grounded in systemic insight and expertise in trauma and development—to help individuals and teams develop their potential, address root causes of challenges, and build pathways to meaningful and sustainable change.
