My fascination with how spaces silently shape us began at age eight when I intuitively recognized that my surroundings influenced my behavior, feelings, and thoughts. This early awareness eventually blossomed into my doctoral research: “A Phenomenological Study of Psychiatrists’s Office from a Depth Psychological Perspective through the Lens of Feng Shui.” My findings revealed that when you consciously attend to your lived environment, particularly with a neutral witness present, your psyche naturally prompts meaningful action and transformation.

In my psychotherapy practice, I observe how the arrangement and contents of a client’s space mirror their inner challenges. Our unconscious mind communicates through our environments—whether home or workplace—leaving clues about our deeper selves in the objects and arrangements we create. There’s profound satisfaction in guiding clients to interpret these spatial messages, helping them discover what their unconscious is revealing through the physical manifestation of their surroundings.

Ask me about

How I can get a good sense of who you are by seeing photos of your bedroom.

My super power is

My superpower lies in wielding the transformative tools of feng shui and depth psychology to cultivate healing relationships between people and their spaces. I perceive the subtle dialogue between the unconscious mind and built environments, decoding how spatial arrangements reveal and influence psychological patterns. By attuning to this unspoken language, I guide clients to recognize how their spaces reflect inner realities, empowering them to create environments that promote wellbeing rather than perpetuate challenges. This unique ability to bridge the visible and invisible dimensions of space allows me to facilitate profound shifts, as people discover that transforming their physical surroundings can simultaneously transform their inner landscape—creating truly salutogenic spaces that actively generate health and wholeness.
