About me
I was born in 1988 in Berlin, where I grew up in a family of body psychotherapists.
In 2012, I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Oxford Brookes University in Oxford, UK. During this time, my main interest was in understanding emotional cognition in people with alexithymia or autism spectrum disorder.
In 2014, I received a Master’s degree in Neuroscience from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway. There I researched the neurological basis of sensory integration as a possible substrate for human consciousness.
After my studies, I returned to Berlin. For several years, I worked as a research associate at the Bernstein Centre for Computational Neuroscience, where I explored the neurological basis of memory, learning, and navigation.
I completed my training in Integrative Psychotherapy in Berlin at the Christoph Mahr Institute. In addition, I completed further hypnotherapy training and an introduction to Somatic Experiencing (SE)®. I am also currently undertaking further training in body psychotherapy.

Approach
Together, we will use logical reasoning and structured approaches to explore your challenges, but also let intuition guide us toward deeper truths of your experiences. This will serve as a basis for finding an equilibrium between your emotions and cognitions, fostering a profound understanding of yourself.
My work emphasises the strong connection between body and mind. Our physical condition often mirrors our mental states, and vice versa. We will take advantage of this bond through mindfulness and somatic practices, thereby revealing insights into your body, emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. Together, these may empower you to achieve the personal change and development you seek.
Throughout your journey, I will offer support that celebrates your strength and progress, while providing thoughtful feedback to challenge your limiting beliefs and behaviours.
