About me
Although sexuality plays a huge role in our health and well-being, many of us feel shame when it comes to sexual desires, relationships, and gender identity, and we often don't have a safe space to talk about all our questions.
It is my goal to support you in gaining insights into your sexual desires & fears, freeing yourself from limiting belief systems about what is considered 'normal' and healing old wounds from the past, to reconnect body & mind, strengthen your own inner resources, break restricting patterns and develop fulfilling & healthy relationships with yourself and others.
My approach is a combination of systemic counseling, embodiment and sex education. Depending on what feels right for you I combine biographical methods, talking therapy, creative practices, constellations, mindfulness, breath and body awareness.
From my personal experiences as well as my specific trainings, I have particularly specialized in those who live outside what is socially considered the norm, especially LGBTIQ+ people or people who question their sexual and gender identity.
I offer sessions for individuals and couples, both in person in Neukölln and online.
Sitzungen sind natürlich auch auf Deutsch möglich.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Systemic ApproachRecommended for those who want to look at how different systems—like family, work, or society—affect their behavior and relationships.
You want to explore your sexual & gender identity? A loved one has come out as LGBTIQ+ and you want to support them as best as you can? You experience minority stress & discrimination and feel the effects on your mind and body? You want to live healthy & fulfilling relationships beyond restrictive societal norms?
You wish for deep & honest connections, but have difficulties in building them? You have the same conflicts again and again? You keep falling into the same patterns & don’t understand why? Or what you might do differently?
You feel sexually unsatisfied? You don’t know what your sexual desires & needs are? Or how you can fulfill them? Sex is painful for you? Your body is feeling tense? Your libido has declined? You have difficulties in reaching orgasms? You struggle with body shame and want to feel more comfortable in your body?
You want to act on your inner wishes that have previously been silenced? You struggle with feelings of shame? You are fighting anxieties? You want to leave behind what is restricting you? You want to learn how to communicate your needs & set boundaries?
