About me

It feels as if it was in another lifetime that I worked as an interior decorator, shaping exterior spaces. Since I was always drawn to people’s inner spaces also, it eventually felt like the natural next step to become a qualified psychologist. (Along the way, I also completed a basic training in theatre education. We love theatre :)) As psychologist (M. Sc.), I then worked for many years as a school psychologist.

During that time, I completed my qualification as a systemic counsellor (SG) and began to train in the Human Design System and BG5 (the professional branch of Human Design). For those who take an interest: I am a generator with a 6/2 profile and emotional authority. Of course, the Human Design System encompasses much more, and learning these three basics about myself and experimenting with them was truly life-changing.

With the profound disruption that the year 2020 brought, it became clear that it was time for a change. I moved to Austria and spent the past few years living and working in Innsbruck. Recently, I have returned to my hometown. If you had asked me a few years ago whether I would ever move back there, I would certainly have said no. But that’s life… and I feel very much at home here.

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.
Systemic approachRecommended for those who want to look at how different systems—like family, work, or society—affect their behavior and relationships.

I call my therapeutic style “Special Blend Counseling” since it combines three of my areas of expertise —perhaps in a somewhat unconventional way.

The first, of course, is psychology. In particular, a systemic approach (after the Institute for Family Therapy in Weinheim). For you that means I understand your issues within their (social) context. No one exists or behaves in a vacuum. Secondly, I have trauma-specific expertise, which I acquired in part through being a member of the crisis and emergency response team when I worked as a school psychologist. Recently, I further deepened my skills in this area in a seven-week "Trauma Clinic" (online, at the Santa Fe Institute for Shame-based Studies).

The second is the Human Design System, as it is a powerful tool for identifying a person’s strengths, potentials, and energetic structures. For this, all I need from you is your exact birth details.

The third area of expertise lies in my intuitive and healing abilities. I rediscovered these in 2021 through a three-month course with Nikki Novo and learned to apply them deliberately. For you, this means that I am able to perceive and work with aspects beyond the material world. This can be helpful, for example, when an issue has its roots in ancestral lineage or in a past life.

Last not least, in spite of the depth of my work, lightness and humor are an integral part of my sessions.
