About me
I grew up in rural Southern Germany as the third out of four children. In my adolescence, I got in touch with a sense of being different, realizing I was gay. While questioning the conventions and norms around me, I believed that in order to find my place in the world, I needed to leave home. I traveled and lived in different countries and became curious about what the world has to offer. As a result, I speak German, English, Spanish and Portuguese. I have lived for longer periods in Spain, Portugal, China, Sri Lanka, France and since 2015 in Denmark.
Being a therapist is my second career. Before that, I completed a multidisciplinary B.A. and M.Sc. in Business, Language and Culture and worked for seven years at an international communication agency.
My curiosity towards the human experience and understanding the suffering prompted me to change careers in my early thirties. I found purpose in facilitating personal growth and healing.
I completed a three year program in Berlin to become a therapist. I am trained in systemic therapy.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
IFS: Internal Family SystemsRecommended for those who want to explore and heal the different parts of themselves that might feel conflicted or overwhelmed.
Systemic ApproachRecommended for those who want to look at how different systems—like family, work, or society—affect their behavior and relationships.
Trauma Informed CareRecommended for those who have experienced trauma and need a safe, supportive space to heal at their own pace.
Individual therapy provides a safe and affirming space to explore a wide range of topics. Some of these topics include anxiety, stress, relational conflicts, identity, connection, belonging and grief. Together we will explore how relationships, family, work, society, culture, internalised thoughts and beliefs affect you, your behavior and emotions.
My approach is trauma-informed, focusing on the understanding of what happens inside of us and how it shapes our body and mind.
I also strive to provide a supportive space for people of all gender identities and sexual orientations.
Couples therapy provides a space to address difficulties, strengthen communication, and improve the quality of your relationship. I approach this by following two steps:
Step 1: Understanding What’s in the Way
We begin by exploring what blocks connection—how communication affects your relationship and which patterns lead to distance or conflict. Together, we identify these dynamics, and I’ll offer tools to help you express yourself safely and constructively.
Step 2: Building the Relationship You Long For
Tools are helpful, but what matters most are your needs, thoughts, and longings. We’ll focus on what truly connects you, creating a foundation of trust, growth, and deeper connection—as individuals and as a couple.
