About me
My journey into psychotherapy has been shaped by both professional training and a deep personal commitment to emotional well-being. I earned my psychotherapy license (Heilpraktiker für Psychotherapie) in June 2024 after completing my studies at Paracelsus Academy and passing the Gesundheitsamt Schöneberg exam. To better support those struggling with anxiety, I also pursued certifications in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) from Holbeck College and in Mindfulness and Meditation Teaching. I’m also a certified Psychological Counselor through the German Association for Free Psychotherapy (VFP).
Since 2014, I’ve supported individuals in navigating stress and work-related anxiety—particularly within Berlin’s fast-paced startup environment—through my work as a Yoga Teacher, Master Coach, and Mental Health Advocate. My focus has been on helping people reconnect with themselves, manage emotional overwhelm, and cultivate sustainable inner balance.
My international work in Dance Movement Therapy led me to Lisbon and Guadalajara, where I explored the embodied experience of emotions—research that inspired my book Szamanki w Wielkim Mieście, now available as an audiobook.
I hold a Master’s degree in Anthropology from Free University Berlin, with a focus on medical anthropology, holistic healing practices, and dance therapy.
Drawing from all these experiences, I founded Your CalmA—a holistic therapy space and community offering integrative support for anxiety and emotional well-being. Through Your CalmA Collective, I bring together therapy, workshops, and embodied practices designed especially for expats and international clients. I also created Mindful Moments™ – Micro-Meditations for Emotional Reset, a digital tool for grounding in everyday life—because healing doesn't just happen in sessions, it happens in small, intentional moments too. All of my therapy clients receive free access to the Mindful Moments platform and the two-month program, Foundation of Calm.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Body therapyRecommended for those who want to connect their mind and body to release stress or trauma through physical sensations and movement.
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.
In my work with clients experiencing anxiety, I go beyond cognitive approaches alone. My approach blends nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and body-based awareness to build true inner stability and flexibility—so you don’t just cope, you transform.
I take an integrative and holistic approach to anxiety and chronic stress, blending evidence-based methods to support lasting change. My work incorporates Mindfulness, Cognitive-Behavioral Techniques (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Somatic Techniques, Psychoeducation, and a client-centered approach—ensuring that each session is tailored to your unique needs.
Prolonged stress and anxiety can often lead to emotional numbness or feeling overwhelmed—where it becomes difficult to connect with your emotions, make decisions, or feel fully present in your life. I support clients in gently navigating these states, helping them restore emotional clarity, reconnect with themselves, and regain a sense of balance and vitality.
I am dedicated to creating a warm, compassionate, and culturally sensitive space where you feel truly heard, valued, and supported—an environment where you can explore your experiences with care and where your unique background and story are fully honored.
Experience
Many of the clients I support are navigating anxiety connected to workplace pressure, fast-paced lifestyles, or the unique complexities of life as an expat.
My experience spans both organizational and individual levels—I've collaborated with companies to identify and reduce systemic stressors, while also working one-on-one with individuals facing personal, professional, and cross-cultural challenges.
In addition to general and social anxiety, I offer support for adjustment difficulties during major life transitions, nervous system dysregulation, and chronic stress overwhelm.
My approach is holistic, recognizing that anxiety is not only in our minds but also in our bodies. In addition to talk therapy, I offer diverse holistic programs such as "From Anxiety to Stability & Flexibility" and "Somatic Anxiety Support."
