About me
Welcome to my profile.
Nice to have you here. I am happy to be able to accompany you.
Counseling and therapy for individuals:
- Crisis support
- How do I experience myself in relationships?
- Emotional and mental overload
- Pressure/performance pressure
- Disstress, excessive demands, exhaustion
- Strengthening and relief for relatives of people with mental health issues
- Reflecting on growing up in the family of origin
- Strengthening self-esteem
- Identifying and clarifying one's individual roles
- Recognizing behavioral patterns
- Changing restrictive, painful beliefs
- Wanting to understand, reflect on, and explore your own symptoms
- Exploring new options for action in challenging moments
- Grief and leaving
Couples therapy:
- Recurring arguments and conflicts
- Separation thoughts
- Cheating
- Loss of trust
- Parenthood
- Open relationships
- Life crises
- Estrangement
- Want to get closer again
- Need for development
- Dissolving stuck patterns
- Improvement of common communication
- Increase relationship quality
- Identifying relationship needs
- Reflecting on your own relationship dynamics
- Separation counseling: What do we need to be able to separate in a good way? What does a respectful, appreciative separation look like?
- Relationship and Collaboration: role variety, balance between work and personal life
In couples therapy, I work almost exclusively in person. Only in exceptional cases and if we already know each other personally do I offer online sessions. I strongly recommend that couples come to the therapy room together: this creates a different quality of encounter than is possible via a screen. In addition, the neutral location helps to gain distance from the home environment and its patterns, conflicts, and dynamics. Coming to a practice can also be something nice that you treat yourself and your relationship to.
Counseling and therapy for parents:
- Overwhelm, exhaustion, stress
- Feeling of external determination and self-sacrifice
- Own needs have no more room
- Conflictual topics of one's own childhood come up through being a parent
- Reflecting on your relationship with your adult children
- Discrepancy between one's own standards and personal experience of parenthood
- Separation counselling: What does our child/our children need in order to continue to develop in a healthy way? Which contact model is right for us? How do we tell our child/children that we are separating? etc.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CoachingRecommended for those who want support and motivation to achieve personal or professional goals, often with a structured, goal-oriented approach.
Family therapyRecommended for families who want to resolve conflicts, improve communication, and understand each other better within the family dynamic.
Systemic therapyRecommended for those who want to understand how their relationships and environments influence their behavior and emotions, particularly within family or organizational systems.
I work in a systemic and resource-oriented approach, with an appreciative and curious attitude. I am particularly interested in the beliefs and relationship patterns that shape our lives and the significance of symptoms for ourselves and those around us. What I appreciate about the systemic perspective is that we can work together to explore the reasons behind the development of symptoms, whether in the past or in the here and now. This does not mean that they are not experienced as painful, but it opens up new possibilities for dealing with them.
I like to develop hypotheses in conversation that serve as suggestions: if they help, we pursue them; if not, we set them aside. I also see biography as a valuable source for understanding which experiences, values, and worldviews have shaped us. Between sessions, I like to give my clients small impulses that can encourage change in their everyday lives.
In my work, I bring optimism, lightness, and joy to the shared process—combined with reliability and respect for the issues entrusted to me.
