About me

Sometimes life can feel like constant decision pressure. Stay or go? Let go or keep hoping? Change jobs — or hold on for another year? Children — yes or no? And with whom? I mainly support women between the ages of 25 and 40 who are in the process of reorienting themselves — emotionally, professionally, or in their relationships. Many come to me after breakups, with heartbreak or doubts about their relationship. Others long for a child but struggle with inner ambivalence, a partner’s “no,” or the painful uncertainty of whether it will work out — or if the right time will ever come. Professional challenges are also a common theme — conflicts with colleagues, stress with a manager, or feeling stuck in a job that no longer feels right. As a former HR advisor, I understand the systemic perspective too — and I can help you recognize your own patterns in the workplace and create new options for yourself. I accompany you with empathy and clarity — using a psychologically grounded, trauma-sensitive, and body-oriented approach. Many of my clients describe our sessions as a mix of inner sorting, emotional relief, and small, practical ideas that truly make a difference. I also support couples in finding a new understanding of their relationship: when closeness and withdrawal alternate, misunderstandings hurt, or when being together feels more like working through each other than being with each other. Especially during phases of wanting a child, pregnancy, or parenthood, many couples get caught in dynamics they can’t resolve on their own. If you ever wonder whether your concern is “serious enough” or if it’s “worth it” to seek help: 🧡 You’re allowed to ask for support. It’s not about weakness — it’s about self-care. I work online and in my practice in Berlin-Mitte — at a pace that feels right for you. A non-binding taster session with a flexible price range is possible.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
EFT: Emotionally focused therapyRecommended for couples or individuals who want to strengthen emotional connections in relationships by exploring feelings and attachment.
Nonviolent CommunicationRecommended for those who want to improve communication and to regulate conflicts by learning how to express their feelings and needs and listening to other’s.
Systemic coachingRecommended for those who want to improve their personal or professional relationships by understanding how they function within larger systems.
You feel that something isn’t right anymore — but you’re not quite sure where to start? Maybe you feel torn between your own wishes and other people’s expectations, between what you need and what you believe you “should” be doing. Or you sense that you’re standing in your own way — even though deep down, you already know what would do you good. I truly believe: ✨ We all carry the answers within us. But sometimes, the way to them is blocked — by stress, old beliefs, unresolved wounds, or simply the noise around us. In my work, it’s not about telling you what’s right. It’s about creating a space together where you can reconnect with what truly belongs to you — beyond inner pressure or outside expectations. I work on equal footing, at your pace, with sensitivity and respect for your inner logic. And I ask the kind of questions that gently challenge you to see things from a new perspective. What you can expect when we work together: • BODY-BASED APPROACH: We include your body as a resource — through breath, posture, small awareness exercises, or guided imagery. Especially with stress-loaded topics (relationships, decisions, work), your nervous system often decides whether you feel safe and able to act. • SELF-WORTH & INNER CRITIC: We strengthen the quiet, kind voice within you — and meet your critical parts with compassion rather than fighting them. • EMOTIONALLY FOCUSED COUPLES THERAPY (EFT): For couples, I help you get back in touch beneath the surface — behind blame, withdrawal, or hurt, there are often deep attachment needs longing to be seen. • WIDE-ANGLE VIEW INSTEAD OF TUNNEL VISION: With my systemic background, I keep an eye on the bigger picture — relationship patterns, family of origin, roles, and contexts. No finger-pointing, but with clarity and healthy boundaries. 💛 You don’t have to be strong all the time and have everything under control. It’s okay to let yourself be held, too.
