[English Below]

In meiner Arbeit orientiere ich mich an einem psychodynamischen Verständnis von seelischem Leiden. Das bedeutet, dass ich davon ausgehe, dass aktuelle Beschwerden oft mit unbewussten inneren Konflikten, Gefühlen und Beziehungserfahrungen zusammenhängen. Gemeinsam versuchen wir zu verstehen, welche emotionalen Muster sich im Leben immer wieder zeigen und wie diese Ihr Erleben, Ihre Beziehungen und Ihr Wohlbefinden beeinflussen. Dieser Ansatz hilft dabei, verdrängte Gefühle, innere Blockaden und unbewusste Abwehrmechanismen behutsam, aber zugleich direkt zu erkennen und zu bearbeiten. Dabei arbeite ich aktiv und aufmerksam mit Ihnen zusammen, um emotionale Prozesse im Hier und Jetzt besser wahrzunehmen und zu verstehen. Ziel ist es, psychisches Leiden nicht nur zu lindern, sondern tiefere emotionale Veränderungen und mehr innere Freiheit zu ermöglichen.

In my work, I am guided by a psychodynamic understanding of psychological suffering. This means that I assume that current difficulties are often connected to unconscious inner conflicts, emotions, and relationship experiences. Together, we aim to understand the emotional patterns that repeatedly emerge in your life and how they influence your experiences, relationships, and overall well-being. This approach helps to recognize and work through repressed feelings, inner blocks, and unconscious defense mechanisms in a way that is both compassionate and direct. I work actively and attentively together with you to better perceive and understand emotional processes in the here and now. The goal is not only to alleviate psychological suffering, but also to foster deeper emotional change and greater inner freedom.
