About me

Trauma-informed support for people with invisible wounds

I support people who have experienced emotional neglect, narcissistic abuse, or chronic attachment wounds — often outwardly functional, but inwardly tense, exhausted, or disconnected.

Many of my clients are reflective adults — often expats — who want to take responsibility for their story without letting it define them any longer.

I speak:

Location:

Neukölln, Berlin, Germany

Approach

Treatment Approaches
EFT: Emotionally focused therapyRecommended for couples or individuals who want to strengthen emotional connections in relationships by exploring feelings and attachment.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
Trauma Informed CareRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.
My work is trauma-informed, body-aware, and ethically grounded.

As a clinical psychologist with psychodynamic training, I combine talk therapy with approaches such as Somatic Experiencing, inner child work, breathwork, and mindful body awareness.

I work with people who:

have suffered (covert) narcissistic abuse

lose themselves in emotionally demanding relationships

are shaped by guilt, shame, or codependency

feel exhausted from “always being strong”

experience their nervous system in a constant state of alert


Together, we work on:

processing shame, anger, or grief after abuse

healing inner child parts & self-rejection

building inner safety after years of people-pleasing

recognizing and breaking patterns of codependency & self-sabotage

establishing healthy boundaries — without guilt


🗝 Parenting after trauma – with yourself and your child

If you're a parent carrying your own emotional wounds, daily life with children can feel especially overwhelming. I support parents who are navigating old pain while trying to be present and loving for their kids.

Together, we work on:

understanding and regulating emotional overwhelm

separating past reactions from present situations

building loving, secure attachment — even after ruptures

repairing with compassion — without shame spirals

🌍 Therapy for global biographies

As a longtime expat across several continents, I understand both the ruptures and opportunities that come with a life between cultures.
I work in German and English, online — with individuals, couples, and groups.

❤️ If you're longing for real connection – with yourself and others

You don’t need to be perfect to begin.
You don’t need a diagnosis to deserve support.
If you're ready to explore new ways of feeling safe, relating, and respecting yourself — I’d be honored to accompany you.

You're welcome here — with everything you bring.


🤝If my approach resonates with you, feel free to send me a message.

In a first session, we can explore whether we’re a good fit and how I might support you on your path.
