“The good life becomes increasingly selfless through an increased awareness of, and sensibility to, the world beyond the self.” — Iris Murdoch
I am a philosopher, writer, and philosophical counselor focused on attention and how it shapes our relationships with ourselves, others, and the world. My work explores how we become more attentive, free, and fully alive through essays, fiction, counseling, and academic research.
My essays and fiction have appeared in Epiphany, Under the Gum Tree, Foliate Oak, Philosophy Now, and various Danish publications. I have also collaborated with The Mindful Word, Psychology Today, and visual artists to explore how text and image can deepen attention and open new forms of understanding.
I hold a PhD in Practical Philosophy from Copenhagen Business School, where I have also taught. My teaching experience includes the University of Copenhagen, Toulouse Business School, and Geneva Business School, and I was a visiting scholar at Duke University. I also hold a Master’s degree in Mindfulness from the University of Zaragoza. Since 2014, meditation has been an integral part of my life and practice, deepened through regular silent retreats.
Drawing on thinkers such as Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Simone Weil, Gilles Deleuze, and Iris Murdoch, my work brings existential philosophy into conversation with contemplative traditions, acceptance-based psychologies, and reflective writing. It is guided by a simple conviction: philosophy is not merely something we study—it is something we practice.
Whether I am writing, teaching, speaking, or working one-to-one with individuals, my aim is the same: to create spaces where greater attention, authenticity, psychological flexibility, and compassion can emerge. Rather than offering ready-made answers, I seek to cultivate the conditions for deeper questions, clearer perception, and a more wholehearted engagement with life.
Alongside my writing and teaching, I offer philosophical counseling inspired by existential philosophy, Compassionate Inquiry, acceptance-based psychologies, mindfulness, and contemplative practice. I also give talks and workshops on attention, authenticity, leadership, and philosophy in contemporary life.
I believe philosophy begins not with certainty, but with attention. Every meaningful life begins with the courage to ask better questions and to live them.
