About me
I am a systemic therapist and sex therapist working with individuals, couples and families.
For me, therapy means building acceptance and trust - in our relationships, in ourselves, but also between counsellor and client. Only then there can be room for change: developing new perspectives, working on your communication, re-discovering your strengths, searching for more meaning in life or embracing and expressing your own sexuality.
As a sex therapist I work with individuals and couples who struggle with
lack of interest in sex, desire discrepancy, infidelity, non-monogamy, sex addiction, erectile dysfunction, pain during sex or orgasm difficulties. I enjoy working with clients of diverse backgrounds including gender, sexual orientation and preference, culture and religion.
Since seeking help is a big step for most people, I like to have a short chat with my clients by e-mail or on the phone to get the first impression of each other and see, if I can be helpful in their situation. Therapy sessions for individuals cost 90 euros for 50 minutes and for couples 150 euros for 90 minutes.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Family therapyRecommended for families who want to resolve conflicts, improve communication, and understand each other better within the family dynamic.
Sex therapyRecommended for individuals or couples who want help improving their sex life, intimacy, or overcoming sexual issues in a supportive environment.
Systemic ApproachRecommended for those who want to look at how different systems—like family, work, or society—affect their behavior and relationships.
I am a certified systemic therapist for individuals, couples and families and a sex therapist. I work both dialogue-based and with creative methods like constellations (systemische Aufstellungen), also bringing in elements of mindfulness and embodiment, but not forgetting the cultural and societal influence on our health. I focus on strengthening the resources and resilience of my clients - in German, English and Finnish.
I currently work part time as a family therapist in a therapeutic group home for teenagers. My emphasis there is on crisis management, stabilizing and (re)gaining control, improving relationships and conflict skills. Prior to that I have many years of experience in working with couples, families and separated parents in a public counseling center. I also offer further education in systemic approach for professionals.
I bring in all this experience in my work with private clients. Individuals, couples and families of all genders and backgrounds are welcome!
