At times life reaches a point where something no longer holds together: anxiety becomes persistent, relationships feel strained, creativity dries up, or a quiet unease begins to insist. For some, this is related to work and performance; for others, to intimacy, identity, or the tension of living between languages and cultures.

Psychoanalysis offers a space to speak about what troubles you without pressure to fit into a diagnosis or a ready-made explanation. It is a place to follow what emerges in your own words, and to discover what is truly at stake for you.
Whatever challenges you are facing, I am here to listen.

WHO CAN BENEFIT
I work with adults facing a range of challenges:
• Anxiety, stress, fear, panic, or inner conflict
• Depression, loss of direction, or a sense of emptiness
• Difficulty in relationships, intimacy, sexuality, parenthood, or family life
• Questions of identity, belonging, gender, and self-understanding
• Creative block, performance anxiety, stage fright, or burnout
• The experience of living between cultures, countries, and languages—whether as an expat, Third Culture Kid (TCK), multilingual person, or someone navigating culture shock and transition

You do not need a diagnosis or a perfectly clear reason to begin. It is enough that something in your life, body, work, or relationships is causing suffering or raising questions that you wish to address.
The analytic treatment can bring relief from symptoms, improve quality of life, and allow you to make choices with greater freedom, less burdened by the past.

LANGUAGES, LOCATION AND PRACTICAL INFORMATION
I offer psychoanalysis and psychotherapy in person in Ljubljana, and online for people living elsewhere in Slovenia or abroad.

SESSION FREQUENCY AND TIMING
Sessions are typically scheduled once to three times per week, depending on what we agree is suitable for your situation.
Each session’s duration is variable and follows the logic of the treatment, not the clock. In Lacanian psychoanalysis, time is measured by moments of insight, speech, or emotional emergence. A session may end when something is articulated that opens a new understanding or allows the unconscious to continue working. This ensures the analytic work respects the rhythm of your speech and your experience.
Likewise, there is no fixed duration for an analysis—each path follows its own rhythm and is guided by your experience and desire, not by an external program.
Fees and practical arrangements are discussed during the initial consultation.

HOW I WORK
My practice is oriented by Lacanian psychoanalysis. Rather than silencing symptoms quickly, I listen to what they may be saying in your life. What troubles you is not dismissed as meaningless, but as something that carries a message, even if it is difficult to grasp at first.
In sessions, you are invited to speak freely, without censoring yourself or fitting into a fixed story. Hesitations, contradictions, memories, dreams, and unexpected associations are welcome.
Over time, new meanings emerge from your own words, and your relation to anxiety, loss, repetition, or conflict may shift from within—not through advice or techniques, but through your own experience.

BEGINNING PSYCHOANALYSIS
If you are considering starting psychoanalysis in Ljubljana or online therapy, you are welcome to contact me for a first consultation. In this initial meeting, you can speak about what brings you, and we can see together whether this way of working is suitable for you.

TRAINING AND ORIENTATION
I completed my analytic training at the Sección Clínica de Madrid (NUCEP – Instituto del Campo Freudiano, ELP, AMP-WAP), where in 2023 I obtained the Certificate of Clinical Studies with the final dissertation Desde dónde se vocifera: the voice as object a.

I remain actively involved in the contemporary Lacanian field through the New Lacanian School (NLS) and the World Association of Psychoanalysis (AMP-WAP). I am Delegate of the Bureau of Das Freudsche Ding – Austria, an affiliated group of the NLS, and was a member of Espace Jeunesse of the NLS Vienna Initiative. Some of my theoretical writings have been published in the journal Punto de Fuga.

WORKING WITH CREATIVE PROFESSIONALS
In parallel with my psychoanalytic practice, I perform internationally as a musician. I am a member of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in New York and was principal clarinetist of Ensemble MidtVest in Denmark for fourteen years, appearing on more than twenty-five albums.
I founded and direct Schackenborg Musikfest, a summer festival at Schackenborg Castle in Denmark, and previously led KantorAtelier in Florence, a cultural association dedicated to the encounter between music, theatre, and psyche.
This dual experience in music and psychoanalysis informs my practice in relation to creativity, performance, vulnerability, discipline, and the body on stage. For clients for whom creativity is central to life, the analytic setting can resonate in a unique way.
As a long-time multilingual expat, I am also sensitive to the difficulties faced by TCKs, expats, and multilingual individuals navigating identity, belonging, and cultural transitions.

TEACHING AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
Alongside clinical work, I teach Theory and Clinic of Lacanian Psychoanalysis and serve on the Scientific Committee of OMANUT in Rome, a three-year school of professional art counseling.
I give masterclasses and lectures at institutions including the Juilliard School, Manhattan School of Music, Royal Danish Academy, State University of New York, and Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, on themes like text interpretation and the body on stage—questions central to both performing arts and the psychoanalytic setting.
