Relationship Therapy and Intimacy Coaching that Inspires you to
Lead with Love
“Sometimes the strongest act is to ask for support.”
It's the fairy tale! Two people, with completely different habits and histories, patterns and preferences, meet each other and fall in love. "Finally somebody who understands me! What's not to like?" Until reality sets in...
What once seemed easy is now causing conflict. What you once loved annoys you even more today. The person you thought would never let you down has disappointed you—multiple times. And perhaps you feel alone, frustrated, a little fooled, or simply desperate because you don't know a way out anymore.
I understand completely. And yet here's an uncomfortable truth:
It's a myth that relationships should flow easily and effortlessly; relationships aren't passive. And it's another myth that you should 'just know' how to fix your issues together, without help. Especially in a world that teaches you about individual empowerment instead of relational empowerment.
If you're open to it, I'm here to guide you towards a new way of relating. With yourself or with your beloved. It's a path towards 'We as a team,' while strengthening your sovereignty at the same time. A path of relational leadership that nobody walked with you before.
Shall we find that way?
What Would You like more of in your Life?
It's one of the the first questions I will ask you. The answer guides us towards the way of working or modality that may serve you best. This can be a mixture of therapy, coaching, trauma-work, or maybe tantra-inspired or somatic practices such as therapeutic shibari (ropes). I happily support you to...
... Feel Confident & Free
... Feel Intimately Connected
... Feel Alive & Nourished
Can I guide you on your journey?
Relational Integrity
My main intention is to bring you towards Relational Integrity: an inner attitude towards relationships - including the one with yourself - that is based on accountability, vulnerability, compassion and choosing connection, yet is independent of what the other person does or doesn’t do.
You may wonder...

My deepest commitment...
...is to love itself. Not to saving every relationship. Sometimes the most loving act is to choose each other all over again, sometimes it's to let go. I intent to guide you back to love, regardless of relationship status. That takes courage.
