Über mich
In my sessions, I blend psychotherapy with education, focusing on negotiation as a key life skill. I specialize in interpersonal issues like divorces, family dynamics, parenting, and crisis management, as well as navigating life changes such as job loss or career transitions. I also help clients overcome trauma from narcissistic behaviors and abuse, guiding them to recognize and break free from these patterns. As a Psychology Instructor, I educate parents, teachers and mental health professionals on identity development, self-esteem, positive psychology, child and adolescent psychology, bullying, personality models etc.
Formalities aside, I don’t have the answers as a therapist. Systemically, we’re experts in asking the right questions to help you find the answers that make sense to you, while building coping strategies. Becoming a mom at 24 taught me that growth isn’t a race and that every step counts.
I can promise you this: I’ll listen, support you, challenge you. I won’t sugarcoat things, but I’ll be right there with you as you step into the discomfort.

Ansatz
Behandlungsansätze
Systemische TherapieEmpfohlen für diejenigen, die verstehen möchten, wie ihre Beziehungen und ihr Umfeld das Verhalten und die Emotionen beeinflussen, insbesondere innerhalb von Familien- oder Organisationssystemen.
Systemischer AnsatzEmpfohlen für diejenigen, die sich damit befassen wollen, wie verschiedene Systeme - Familie, Arbeitsumfeld oder Gesellschaft - ihr Verhalten und ihre Beziehungen beeinflussen.
Systemisches CoachingEmpfohlen für diejenigen, die ihre persönlichen oder beruflichen Beziehungen aufwerten wollen, indem sie verstehen, wie sie in größeren Systemen funktionieren.
I follow the principles of Systemic Philosophy, according to which everything in the world around us, including people, is interlinked, and these interactions form our reality.
Through open communication, I work with the client to identify the key relationship dynamics within his life and how these dynamics may be contributing to his mental health or personal struggles.
In the therapeutic process, emphasis is also placed on the balance of interpersonal relationships and their impact on life decisions, as well as on the social and cultural influences that shape the person's way of thinking. As a psychotherapist, I am not a neutral observer but an active participant within the therapeutic system. The interaction is continuous and reciprocal and both parties influence and are influenced by each other.
I believe that when the perspective shifts, due to a change in meaning which brings a disruption within the system, it can lead to significant changes internally and externally, as it allows for new insights and the potential for transformation.
I aim to assist individuals in recognizing their patterns of relating, developing strategies to improve their lives, and learning how to negotiate and adapt by building resilience.
Just as Virgil guides Dante through the inferno, the therapist helps his clients to face their own deepest fears, where the truth of their struggles is hidden. This journey is a shared experience of growth and self-discovery.
I myself am in ongoing therapy and supervision for ethical purposes.
