About me

I have been working with mentally ill people since I was 23 years old. I gained my first experience in a residential home for mentally ill children and young people. After that, I worked for a long time with adults with severe psychiatric illnesses.

Almost three years ago, I successfully completed my Master of Science degree in clinical psychology. As I liked the content, but wanted to gain further qualifications and more experience in clinical work with patients, I decided to start further training as a psychological psychotherapist straight afterwards.

As part of this, I was able to work as a psychologist in both the psychosomatic and psychiatric clinic of the Theodor-Wenzel Werk in Berlin-Nikolassee, where I gained a lot of experience with individual and group psychotherapy in both inpatient and day-care settings. The Theodor-Wenzel Werk is a clinic that specializes in the treatment of mental illness. The therapeutic focus there is on depression, anxiety disorders, panic disorders, hypochondriacal disorders, somatoform disorders, pain disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, borderline disorders, eating disorders and adjustment disorders.

Parallel to my work in the clinic, I receive a sound theoretical training at the Berlin Institute for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, which deals with both the basics and today's modern developments in psychotherapeutic and psychoanalytic theory.

I am currently in the last third of my state training to become a psychological psychotherapist for depth psychology-based psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
PsychoanalysisRecommended for those who want to explore how their unconscious mind and early experiences affect their current behaviors and feelings.
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.

It is important to me to meet people at eye level, not to see illnesses as pathological, but as the best attempt at the current moment, to find a way of dealing with a stressful environment. I see psychotherapy as an open space that can be equally shaped by two people. Psychotherapy means working on oneself, getting to know and experience oneself, learning to feel oneself. Psychotherapy can be exhausting, work, but it can also be light, funny and cheeky.
