About me

While failing my studies in business economics, I found my dedication in learning the human mind and body. I studied clinical psychology in Halle (Saale) and Berlin, and am now finishing my training as a licensed psychotherapist (depth psychology) at Institut für Tiefenpsychologie (depth psychology), Gruppendynamik (group dynamics) und Gruppentherapie (group therapy) - ITTG Berlin.  By getting to know our health ecosystem more closely, I developed a profound interest in digital health. Since I moved to Berlin early 2015, I have worked and am still working for several mobile health companies that develop digital approaches, supporting both - client and counsellor. In a time where treatment gets more and more important while simultaneously barriers in our health care system increase, I see huge benefits in digital health to close existing care-gaps. Topics like access to treatment (telemedicine), practice management and patient-professional-communication are the ones that have my major attention and where I am working on with passion.
 These professional landmarks influenced my journey as a psychologist by integrating the openness of modern treatment approaches and my studies of depth psychology, philosophy and freudian/adlerian psychoanalysis in my counseling. Besides this, I am linking my work to several projects in the fields of art, technology and culture.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CoachingRecommended for those who want support and motivation to achieve personal or professional goals, often with a structured, goal-oriented approach.
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
It is our stories that let us grow - they shape the way we perceive and experience relationships and emotion, our inner and outer world. Sometimes transition or crisis keep us distant to our own internal movements. As a therapist and counsellor, it is my objective to help my clients (re-) gaining access to their personal stories, to find a way to get closer to their inner lives and to feel wholesome as the individual they are. I offer counseling in English and German, specialised in topics that face transition, anxiety, work-related topics and eating disorders.  I am a depth-psychologist, with a background in Alfred Adler's Individual Psychology and with a strong interest in working with people's life stories. My training as a licensed therapist at ITGG Berlin (Institut für Tiefenpsychologie, Gruppentherapie und Gruppendynamik, founded by Joseph Rattner and Gerhard Danzer) has a deep philosophical focus, which influenced my work to a comprehensive approach. I see my clients in their wholeness and find it key to explore their individual, current framework as well as their former paths and childhood, to integrate each piece and to draw a complete picture of a person's story.  While working in a psychosomatic clinic (Ruppiner Kliniken) I had the chance to gain broad awareness about the liaison between our body and mind, how both interact and influence each other. It is my personal endeavor to blend this holistic view into my counseling, as well as to grow a sustainable and meaningful relationship to my clients. I believe that psychotherapy can be that missing link between boundaries in people’s connection of their inner and outer world and is adding value in understanding ourselves as an entire person.
