I believe everyone deserves a space to think – without “good advice”, without other people's solutions. Just with our own thoughts, emotions and our own pace. Still getting challenged, though.

Creating that space is what I do.

I remember sitting on the wooden floor of my apartment, staring at a wall full of post-its. Over months – maybe years – I'd written note after note, drawn mind maps, made documents and spreadsheets. What should I do with my life?

Deep down, I knew.

As a teenager, I'd read books about – don't laugh – how to simplify your life, organize your home, read body language, have a fulfilling life, build better relationships, get things done.

All while I had no home of my own to organize, no job, and definitely no relationship. Ah, and I devoured psycho thrillers. Just to complete the picture.

I also practiced almost every day after school: flute, saxophone, ensemble rehearsals, choir, music theory, ear training. Yeah, I was busy.

Eventually I had to choose. Music or psychology?

I picked psychology – work and organizational psychology specifically, focused on leadership, personality, and team dynamics. But 25+ years on stage don't just disappear.

Then it hit me: if I really believed what I was telling myself every day, my actions had to match. I'd have the most meaningful impact as a coach – because coaching would carry all of it.

So in coaching, I combined everything. Except the psycho thrillers. Although honestly – most coaching processes are just as suspenseful.

That was 2013. I've been coaching ever since.

Which brings me to you.

If you're at a turning point – personal, professional, or both – and ordinary advice isn't cutting it: you are in the right place.

My approach is creative and science-backed:

🎷 Music – improvisation, creativity, emotion
🔬 Psychology – science, structure, reason

You need both to navigate today's ambiguity. That's what I bring.

In our work together, we’ll hold both sides at once: structure and creativity, science and art, reflection and hands-on action. Often in the same session.

Here, you're a whole person – your identity, your experiences, your values, your beliefs. Together we look at how you think, feel, and act – and at the cultures and systems that shape all of it.

Let's Talk

You're still here. Amazing!
