About me
From an early age, I have been fascinated by the way people think, feel, and, above all, how we connect with one another. Why we feel deeply connected in some moments and distant in others. Over the years, this curiosity continued to grow and eventually shaped my professional path.
I grew up between Germany and Spain, an experience that has greatly influenced my perspective on relationships, communication, and human connection. Being exposed to different cultures, values, and ways of expressing emotions taught me early on how complex and at the same time how meaningful our relationships can be.
Driven by this interest, I studied Psychology in Berlin and later specialized in Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy. Today, I work as a licensed psychotherapist, supporting individuals and couples in gaining a deeper understanding of themselves, navigating emotional challenges, and building more fulfilling relationships.
One of the things I value most in my work is creating a space that feels safe, calm, and genuine, a place where you don't have to explain yourself or pretend to be someone you're not. At the same time, I bring structure and clarity to the therapeutic process, helping turn meaningful conversations into lasting change.

Approach
I see therapy as a collaborative and active process. It's not only about talking about problems, but about truly understanding them and creating meaningful change.
My work integrates cognitive-behavioral, emotion-focused, and systemic approaches. Together, we explore current thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns, while also looking at the deeper emotional needs and relationship experiences that often shape them.
In couples therapy, I work primarily from an Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and systemic perspective. Many relationship conflicts are not really about what appears on the surface, but about underlying emotional needs, hurts, fears, and misunderstandings. By exploring these patterns together, partners can develop a deeper understanding of themselves and each other, creating opportunities for more secure connection and healthier communication.
At the same time, I believe therapy should not only be a place for insight but also a place for change. That's why I work in a structured way and incorporate targeted questions, reflections, and practical exercises that help clients develop new perspectives and apply them in their daily lives.
I place great importance on working collaboratively and as equals. You are the expert on your own experience; my role is to provide professional guidance, structure, and evidence-based tools. Together, we create an approach that fits your unique needs and goals.
Depending on your concerns, therapy may involve gaining clarity, making difficult decisions, coping with anxiety or overwhelming thoughts, improving relationships, or reconnecting with yourself and the people around you.
Experience
I work as a licensed psychotherapist with both individuals and couples, supporting people through a wide range of life challenges, relationship difficulties, and mental health concerns.
Throughout my training, I gained extensive clinical experience in a variety of therapeutic settings, including at Charité Campus Mitte and the Outpatient Clinic of Freie Universität Berlin.
In addition to my clinical work, I contributed to the EPIsoDE study as part of my master's research. This clinical trial investigated innovative approaches to the treatment of depression and deepened my interest in evidence-based psychotherapy and psychological research.
