About me

I have a serious chronic illness myself and am familiar with the medical and bureaucratic challenges involved from personal experience. As well as I know how difficult it can be to reconcile personal goals and wishes with external barriers and one's own needs. This has motivated me to support people with disabilities and/or chronic illnesses and their close ones.

​

I worked many years as a video artist. Artistically and academically, I question oppressive and discriminatory systems of knowledge and action.

​

These approaches, as well as an anti-discriminatory language, shape my counselling.
