About me
I’ve found myself working more and more with women in their twenties, thirties and forties who already have many experiences to look back on (and some challenging ones too) who also have a lot ahead of them, and want to find the strength and energy to go into this future as healthy, confident and free individuals.
Many of these women face the same challenges: emotional imbalances marked by fear and anxiety, nervousness, excessive thinking and a variety of non-successful attempts to cope. Feelings of loneliness, low self-esteem or even self-hatred and often struggles with anger and the expression of anger.
P.S. This is my specialization, however, I work with individuals and couples of all ages and genders. Besides I am currently undergoing a specializiation for the treatment of children and families, too.
My approach
I mostly work with CBT and mindfulness-based methods, however, I have found techniques from Psychodynamic Therapy, Systemic Therapy and Body Psychotherapy to round off my therapeutic work. Especially for individuals who display difficulties to stay in touch with and regulate their emotions, working with the body and the autonomous nervous system can be extremely transformative.
Besides this, analyzing relational patterns and understanding where a person comes from - what they have learned about relationships, the world in general, other people and themselves - seems inevitable for understanding current difficulties. Generally, the basis of my work is always a stable and dependable therapeutic relationship.
Whether you face a difficult life transition or repeating cycles of negativity - there is a potential in all of us to move from crisis to personal growth.
