Helping expats, nomads, English and French speakers with anxiety, depression or burnout symptons - adapting to a new culture and lifestyles. I’m a psychologist trained at UC Berkeley, University of Copenhagen, Cornell Medical Center, and École de la Cause Freudienne, Paris. I specialize in helping people clarify their emotions and transform the way they connect with others. Whether you're facing l

In therapy, we’ll examine issues together, looking at specific elements while considering the bigger picture.

At the end of the narrow bridge, where the body hesitates a small shrine waits
closed as if desire itself had been sealed.
Water on all sides mangroves like a murmuring unconscious roots tangled in what cannot be said.
One crosses anyway.
Not to arrive but to circle the absence.
And just beyond the noise the road
the Other’s demand resumes.

The bamboo and mango groves give this feeling of something lush, natural, grounded
but the spinning boat cuts across that
Nature is there but the experience is curated looped
made into a spectacle you circulate inside of
So you could say: it’s a small floating theater of jouissance
A contained excess where the point isn’t to go somewhere on the river
but to keep turning in place
enjoying the turn itself.

The object isn’t the sardine — it’s the desire around it.
A perfume promises an image; a sardine leaves a trace on the tongue.
Here, enjoyment doesn’t hide — it bites, it lingers, it insists.
Maybe the real luxury is not what you wear, but what you can’t quite wash away.
Desire smells stronger than perfume anyway.

A split subject: woman and tiger held together by a single gaze that belongs to neither. The eye in the triangle marks the place of the Other, where the subject is seen. “JAWAS” tries to unify the image as a master signifier, but the cracks and decay show that unity failing—the Real breaking through.

The sun withdraws, but leaves its trace on the skin.
Laughter drifts across the beach, as if no one owns it.
A voice, a guitar, something like a promise passes between bodies.
Desire loosens here—no longer fixed, no longer named.
In the dimming light, we borrow each other’s joy.
And for a moment, the lack does not insist.
Or rather—it sings, softly, through us.

The scene seduces as if it were whole, but what shimmers in the purple light is the lack itself—desire staged, never satisfied. The gaze circulates among bodies and objects, but what it seeks is always elsewhere, slipping beyond the frame.

The sun does not fill the lack—
it traces its outline in gold.
Desire softens here,
but it does not disappear.
Between sea and sky,
the subject loosens its grip on the symptom.
No substance intoxication—
only the quiet insistence of being.
What remains, when nothing is numbed,
is a different kind of warmth

In the jungle at the art market in Tong Sala, the sound of cicadas fills the air like a constant voice that never quite speaks. It is not silence, but something that surrounds speech, something that insists. Among the stalls and smiling faces, there is a simple kindness, as if the Other is not demanding, only present. Here, desire softens; it does not disappear, but it no longer pushes in the same way. One walks, looks, listens—and for a moment, the lack feels less heavy.

The abundance of fruit stages a fantasy of limitless enjoyment—an overflowing promise that the subject might finally find the object that satisfies. Yet desire persists precisely because no fruit, however exotic, can close the lack that animates it. What appears as plenitude is structured by absence - n'est pas Håkan?

Morning in the shala.
Yellow flowers, the ocean in the background, light spilling through the shutters.
For a moment the body forgets its usual story and simply moves.
In a handstand the world turns, and the subject briefly slips from its place.
Perhaps this is what practice touches: a small gap where desire can breathe.

Gold on the temple is not just decoration—it stages desire.
Gold functions like the objet petit a: the glittering remainder that promises fullness but never delivers it.
The shine captures the gaze and makes the sacred feel closer, as if transcendence were visible on the surface.
But what truly moves us is not the metal itself—it is the lack it reflects back to us.
The temple glows, and in that glow we glimpse our own desire.

A room of mirrors on the 74th floor: the city below, the image above, and between them the subject momentarily suspended.
The mirrored walls multiplied the gaze, while luminous balloon-forms drifted like fragments of the object a—playful, elusive, impossible to fully grasp.
In this kaleidoscopic field, the body moved as if inside the Imaginary itself: reflections proliferating, orientation dissolving, the skyline reduced to a shimmering signifier.
For a brief moment the subject plays, not with objects, but with the very structure of desire.
