About me
I am a systemic family and couples therapist with five years of experience as a family counselor with a NGO in Berlin. In late 2022, my family and I relocated to Copenhagen, where I now work independently as a therapist in both English and German.
I myself live in a binational relationship and therefore understand the challenges that come with growing up in different cultures. Living abroad can also pose numerous challenges, and I am dedicated to providing counseling support to individuals facing these transitional periods. My goal is to help people navigate the complexities of life in a new environment and find resilience and growth throughout the process.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Family therapyRecommended for families who want to resolve conflicts, improve communication, and understand each other better within the family dynamic.
I offer a safe, non-judgmental environment where we delve into your personal challenges and work together to find solutions for you as an individual or as a couple. My approach to systemic therapy is grounded in providing support and acknowledging the unique experiences of each client, with a particular focus on their individual biographical backgrounds.
High levels of stress can leave you feeling drained, anxious, and disconnected. Together, we'll pinpoint the thought patterns and behaviors contributing to this imbalance in your life. We may explore various topics such as your current workload, primary stressors, establishing healthy boundaries in relationships, self-care practices, or your life history. A crucial aspect involves recognizing your personal strengths and identifying what you require for a fulfilling life aligned with your personal values.
My objective is to help you achieve a healthy equilibrium between stress and relaxation. This fosters greater well-being in both your personal and professional life. I am dedicated to helping individuals, families, and couples find new perspectives on their challenges.
Please contact me for a free 15-minute intake consultation to get to know each other and to figure out, if I am a good fit as a counselor for you.
Important note: Online counselling does not replace psychotherapy. In case of severe mental disorders or if you find yourself in an acute crisis, a psychotherapist should be consulted.
