About me

It is important to me: To offer you a protected space and to take time for a joint search process around the topic you have brought with you. I am happy if you come to new insights, if you find the courage to try out new solution ideas with me and in everyday life, and if I can support you with short solution impulses or for longer. I connect the left and right hemispheres of the brain by drawing on my many years of experience as a freelance artist in the theater to become effective as a systemic and psychodramatic therapist today: Since 2011 I have been living in multicultural and diverse Berlin and work in my own systemic practice in Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg and Tempelhof. Left hemisphere of the brain: As a sociologist and systemic therapist, I am always curious about the relationship systems in which we move together with our "problems". In the course of life history, patterns sometimes emerge that used to be helpful, but have now become too rigid to enable the desired lively development. To change these patterns, we look for new connections on the inner map. From personal experience, I have long been fascinated by the idea that our inner and social reality, identity, gender or our roles in life are constructed and changeable. Right hemisphere of the brain: For many years I worked as a director and dramaturg in German and international spoken and performance theatre, as well as an author for theatre and film. Practiced artistically and as a psychodrama leader, I now like to use creative methods such as visualization, symbol work, life narrative, positioning in space or scenic exercises - in addition to the analytical conversation - to bring movement back into life.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
PsychodramaRecommended for those who want to use role-playing and dramatization to work through emotions and past experiences in a creative way.
Systemic coachingRecommended for those who want to improve their personal or professional relationships by understanding how they function within larger systems.
Systemic therapyRecommended for those who want to understand how their relationships and environments influence their behavior and emotions, particularly within family or organizational systems.
As a non-medical practitioner for psychotherapy (HPG), I offer systemic therapy (SG) for individuals and couples in Berlin or online. Constellations in Space (SySt) or Psychodrama (DFP) are further approaches to explore your topic from a new perspective. In order for you to be able to develop your own solutions, it is important to me to accompany you in a value-neutral, appreciative and empathetic way. 1. Write me an email: In a free preliminary talk on the phone, we will clarify the best procedure for your concerns: counselling, coaching or psychotherapy - in an individual, couple or group setting - on site in Berlin or online. 2. Please arrive on time and take a seat in the waiting area. I will pick you up and take you to the consultation room. In the first conversation, we first get to know each other and find out whether and how we want to work together. Everything is subject to confidentiality. 3. First, we get an overview of your topic on the flipchart or set it up in the room. In addition to systemic and solution-oriented questions, I like to work with pictures, symbols, chairs, ropes or colorful cards. In this way, we visualize your current situation, enter into dialogue with a conflict, find new perspectives or try out solutions by acting in the here and now. 4. Strengthened by new impulses or with an invitation to try something new in everyday life, the real change takes place between the sessions. Next time, we'll evaluate what was helpful for you and what next step might be useful. A one-on-one session lasts 60 minutes and costs 120,-Euro. We decide from hour to hour when the next session makes sense, usually every 2-4 weeks. After the session, payment can be made in cash or, in the case of online sessions, in advance by bank transfer.
