About me
I am a licensed clinical psychologist (MSc), mindfulness coach, and psychological psychotherapist (in training) based in Berlin. Growing up in Germany's Ruhr area, I left at 18 to work and study abroad for six years. My journey eventually led me back to Germany, where I established my base in Berlin. I have since worked in psychotherapeutic practices, social work institutions, and a day clinic for politically persecuted individuals, torture victims, and refugees from war zones. I employ an open, international, and integrative approach, working with a wide range of clients and psychological problem, like depression, anxiety, trauma.

Approach
Creating a judgment-free and open environment is essential in psychotherapy. This space offers safety and support, allowing you to reflect on your past, present, and future while understanding key experiences. Your needs and goals are the focus. I utilize research-based elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), informed by my experience as a mindfulness teacher and new-wave approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). These methods have proven effective for anxiety disorders, phobias, depression, burnout, procrastination, confidence issues, and various psychological challenges. My approach is tool-based, equipping you with coping strategies to address your concerns. The goal is to help you become self-sufficient in managing vulnerable topics, enabling you to trust your coping mechanisms even after therapy ends. These skills will support you in overcoming current struggles and lead to a freer, happier, and more self-sustained life.In therapy, I do not prescribe a "right way," as I believe each individual can find their unique path. My role is to assist and accompany you on this journey. It is crucial to tailor therapy to your specific needs and resources. We all possess diverse resources, often hidden from view. Identifying, strengthening, and activating these resources will be a key aspect of your therapy.
