About me
I grew up in the Ruhr area and after several years abroad (USA, Netherlands) I settled in Berlin. I have been living and working in Berlin since 2016.
I studied psychology and economics and worked in educational research and human resources development. The four-year Gestalt therapy training provided a contrast and a good complement to the world of science and business in which I previously worked. I have been working as a Gestalt therapist since 2019 and in my own practice since 2022. At the same time, I continue to work as an expert in personnel development.
I don't like to be pigeonholed and this is also important to me in my work with you, my clients. The humanistic approach of Gestalt therapy forms a good basis for this understanding. I look for the right approach for each client.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Gestalt therapyRecommended for those who want to focus on the present and take responsibility for their feelings and actions to promote personal growth.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.
It is not easy to keep track of the various forms of psychotherapy. Gestalt therapy is one of the humanistic therapy methods. It focuses on the person. Contrary to the associations with the term “Gestalt”, however, it is not an art therapy, but a conversation-based psychotherapy. The method was founded in the 1950s by the psychoanalysts Fritz and Laura Perls and the social philosopher and writer Paul Goodman.
