About me
I am a psychologist in advanced cognitive-behavioral therapy training with four years of professional experience.
A bit about my background: I grew up in Göttingen as the child of a German father and a Uruguayan mother. As a neurodiverse (ADD), bicultural, and queer person, I often experienced what it means to not conform to the norms of the majority society and to encounter misunderstanding. My journey in emotionally coping with this sense of otherness also informs my therapeutic expertise.
After completing my Master's degree in psychology, I moved to Berlin in 2020 to begin my training as a psychotherapist. I first completed the required clinical internships and, since 2022, have been treating my own patients under supervision.
I have already gained professional experience with the following issues:
- Depression, burnout
- Prolonged grief, loneliness
- Anxiety, hypochondria, panic attacks
- Attachment issues: fear of loss and attachment, coping with breakups, family conflicts
- Neurodiversity: AD(H)D, autism
- Psychosis, delusions
- Addiction
- Personality traits: narcissism, borderline, dependency, self-insecurity
- Chronic pain

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
DBT: Dialectical Behavior Therapy Recommended for those who want to learn skills to manage intense emotions and improve their relationships, especially if they feel easily overwhelmed.
Schema therapyRecommended for those who want to break out of negative patterns or "schemas" that they developed early in life and keep repeating.
Psychological counseling may be suitable for you if you would like support during difficult phases of life or if you have had a mental health condition in the past and are seeking assistance to stay healthy.
My approach focuses on understanding the development of individual problems in the context of your personal biography. We work together to explore how your difficulties make sense in light of your past. This allows you to approach yourself with greater compassion.
Once we have understood where your difficulties originate, I will further support you in making changes. I will assist you in breaking free from entrenched patterns of thinking and behavior. To do this, I will help you to better perceive your feelings and understand the underlying needs behind them. Together, we will develop effective strategies to meet these needs as well as possible. This way, you will be less reliant on problematic coping mechanisms, and a more fulfilling life will become possible.
My attitude toward my clients is compassionate, honest, supportive, and at eye level. I recognize that you are the expert on your own problems. At the same time, I offer you my expertise on how the human mind works.
Session availability: I offer in-person counseling on Sundays and online during the week. If interested, feel free to send me a direct message.
