About me
I’m a psychoanalytic counsellor based in Berlin. I received my BA in social and cognitive psychology, and my MA in psychology with a clinical focus. I am passionate about psychoanalytic theory, and particularly Jacques Lacan’s teachings.
My work is grounded in the conviction that every person is singular. Even when two individuals present with similar symptoms, each does so in their own particular way, shaped by their unique history, language, and unconscious formations. To create a space in which such particularities find expression, one is invited speak without restriction or censorship. I listen actively and attentively to your speech, and we work through the material that unfolds during the sessions with the aim of bringing about a change in how one situates themselves in their daily lives.
I welcome people from all backgrounds, identities, and genders without reservation.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
My orientation leans towards psychoanalytic theory which firmly believes in each person’s uniqueness. This means that the trajectory of the work is determined separately and is individually assed and tailored to each specific case.
A central focus of this approach is on speech; on what you say and how you say it. In our sessions, you are invited to speak freely, without restriction or censorship. The idea is to allow unconscious formations to emerge through speech. A slip of the tongue, for example, is not merely an error in speaking. It is rather an indication of something other that intrudes, and tries to pierce through what one may call our ordinary way of speaking. This form of counselling creates a space to explore such formations and to work through issues that transpire during the process.
