Therapy and counseling

Therapy and counseling are umbrella terms that include a wide range of approaches where conversation is central. This may involve psychotherapy, existential therapy, relational work, trauma counseling, life guidance, grief support, and existential exploration.

Through dialogue, we can explore thoughts, emotions, experiences, and life choices together – in a safe and trusting space.

My professional background is broad and interdisciplinary, with education in several therapeutic traditions. My work involves meeting people in various life situations and working holistically – with respect for the psychological, existential, and spiritual aspects of being human.

 

 

Pastoral Care

Pastoral care is not therapy in the traditional sense, but many find the conversations deeply therapeutic. You lead the session and are free to speak about whatever you carry – grief, shame, addiction, loneliness, illness, loss, or faith. Nothing is taboo. As a pastoral caregiver, I listen – I am a guest in your life.

My training in pastoral care (a two-year college program) is rooted in a Christian foundation and offers space for conversations about faith, spirituality, and life’s deeper questions. You may have experienced resistance as a believer, felt a sense of absence from God, or struggled with spiritual practice. During my studies, I focused on suffering and suicide from a Christian perspective, and wrote my bachelor’s thesis on prayer – but all topics are welcome.
