About me

In Berlin I work in my own studio, giving long term treatments to patients. Check on https://entwicklungsraum.berlin/ Abroad I additionally treat clients, who seek help and support trough online therapy from the age of 13. I would not recommend online therapy for young children. My profession is my passion and I chose to become a psychotherapist after many years of traveling. If you are looking for a well educated therapist, who knows her skills and combine it with her life experience, we might be a good fit. I have given many years of counseling to adults, as a employee of a psychiatric NGO. Depression and anxiety are often symptomatic for an underlying issue, which i gently try to uncover with you. I see myself as a guide and unconditional support in this process, based on my knowledge, experience and empathy. If you feel addressed by those words, i am happy to give you my helping hand to keep you going on your journey.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Ego-state therapyRecommended for those who want to explore and heal different parts of themselves, especially if they feel like different "states" or versions of themselves emerge in certain situations.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.
As a deep psychologist I am trained to study the unconscious mind of my patients, to help them to understand their own emotional and mental patterns. This treatment can be a support in moments of instability and doubt. As we wont be in the same room, i ask you to prepare for this therapy as a counseling, in which we focus on certain issues and get a deeper understanding of it. I underwent a profound education of seven years, which gives you the security of working with a professional therapist . 👪 My consultations with parents or caregivers can help to understand the behavior of your children better, get a professional advice about their development or use a therapeutic guidance to improve the relationship with them. The time of becoming an adult can be a very critical time in life for many of us. To navigate that moments of crises with a therapist on your side, can be very helpful.
