About me
I‘m a clinical psychologist, originally from Zürich, Switzerland. I was educated and have working experience from around the world, including New York City, Stockholm, Sweden, and Shanghai, China. Conducting research, practicing clinically, and teaching in different countries taught me to appreciate the complexity of different cultures, and people of all backgrounds. My experience led me to the insight that optimal performance can be achieved when mind and body are attuned.
