About me

Hey there, I am Anna.

My path into psychotherapy has been anything but conventional. I studied humanities, social sciences, and economics before dedicating myself to psychology. My professional journey led me through academia (I have a PhD), international relations, strategy consulting, and a corporate headquarters, a famous opera house, as well as a boutique shop for plant art. :-) I have lived in various countries, including Ukraine, France, Israel, Germany, and China. I’m married and have a dog with floppy ears.

All these experiences enrich my work and allow me to support people in a variety of ways. I work with individuals, groups, and also teach therapeutic methods and psychological disorders to aspiring colleagues.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.
Systemic therapyRecommended for those who want to understand how their relationships and environments influence their behavior and emotions, particularly within family or organizational systems.

PSYCHOTHERAPY I offer psychotherapy and coaching in German, English, and Russian – both online and in-person in Berlin. I work with clients on a wide range of issues, including:

  • Relationship and family crises
  • Depressive episodes
  • Anxiety, stress, burnout
  • Emigration and other significant life transitions

My goal is to help you understand your emotions and physical reactions more deeply, let go of outdated patterns, and open yourself up to new experiences and possibilities. Sometimes that means taking risks; other times, it’s about small steps towards big change. In my presence, you can be your authentic self – without fear, shame, or guilt. I’m on your side.

COACHING In my capacity as a coach, I support your personal development and professional growth. With nearly 20 years of experience in management consulting, corporations, politics, and global institutions, I can help you find your individual path and navigate its challenges while also staying true to yourself.

GENERAL I have extensive experience working with expats and internationals. I’m committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming space for LGBTQIA+ clients.

Money shouldn’t be the reason not to start therapy. I keep one spot at a reduced fee for someone who temporarily needs financial relief. Reach out if this feels like it’s meant for you.
