About me

I have been living in Germany for over 11 years and working professionally as a counselor and social pedagogical family practitioner. Over the past seven years, I have supported families, migrants, and refugees navigating complex emotional, relational, and social challenges. My work includes family conflict resolution, parenting support, and helping individuals recover from trauma and high-stress life transitions.

Through my experience working with diverse cultural backgrounds, I have developed a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive approach. I integrate principles from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and systemic family perspectives to support both individuals and families in rebuilding stability, clarity, and healthier relationships.

I am deeply committed to creating a safe, respectful, and confidential space where clients feel heard and supported. I believe meaningful change begins with understanding, emotional safety, and practical tools that empower long-term growth

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Systemic coachingRecommended for those who want to improve their personal or professional relationships by understanding how they function within larger systems.
Trauma informed careRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.

My therapeutic style is structured yet compassionate. I combine trauma-informed care with CBT principles and systemic perspectives to help clients understand patterns, regulate emotions, and improve communication.

I work collaboratively, meaning we explore challenges together at a pace that feels safe and manageable. I focus on practical tools, emotional awareness, and building clarity around relationships — whether individual, or family dynamics.

Above all, I aim to create a respectful and confidential space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful and sustainable changes
