about me.
As an anthropologist, I've studied many different peoples and worlds. That work taught me two things at once: how much people share at a fundamental level, and how differently each person perceives, needs and experiences the world.
As a mediator, coach and trainer, I get a glimpse into people's lives and offer them a safe space to think out loud. Often, people just need another voice to help them organize their thoughts, ask the right questions and see a situation more clearly. I work to put people at ease, read between the lines of what's said and unsaid, and help them articulate what's often hard to put into words, without losing sight of what matters to them individually.
What drives me: the complexity of relationships and life stories, patchwork, intercultural and LGBTQIA+ families, group dynamics, contemporary art, sex positivity and sexuality, inclusion, and intersectional feminism.
