About me
I studied psychology and philosophy in Berlin and subsequently completed my doctorate at the Berlin School of Mind and Brain and Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg.
I am currently completing my clinical training at various institutes in Germany. I have gained clinical experience in a range of hospital and outpatient settings; I currently work as a psychologist at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. Invitations to conduct research, along with grants and awards, have also taken me to the University of Oxford and National Taiwan University.
In addition, I pursue ongoing professional development with experts at universities and specialized centers in Germany, Switzerland, and the USA—including the International Psychoanalytic University Berlin, Harvard Medical School, and the University of Oxford.
I also teach at psychotherapy training institutions, such as the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, and serve on the board of the German Professional Association for Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (DFT e.V.).

Approach
Therapeutic Apporach
Present difficulties rarely stand on their own. They are usually bound up with inner conflicts, warded-off feelings, and earlier experiences in relationships, most of which remain outside our conscious reach. Together we work out why anxiety, depressive states, or physical symptoms are affecting your wellbeing, why it is hard to feel at ease in relationships, or why contact with your own inner life fades and life begins to feel empty.
You will not find in me a therapist who waits, but an active and empathic companion who wants to feel and change, together with you, whatever brought you to look for therapy. We explore which inner blocks and inhibitions are holding you back, and address them together and directly.
Working side by side, we aim not only to ease your suffering, but to open the way to deeper change and greater inner freedom.
Costs
I work of self-pay basis. However since I am also a ""Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie", some German private insurances can partially or fully cover the costs of my sessions, as well as "Heilpraktiker Zusatzversicherungen". Call your insurance provider to ask about their refund policy.
Experience
Several years of experience in inpatient psychotherapeutic care as well as outpatient psychotherapeutic treatment of patients.
