About me
Due to personal experience, it is especially important to me not to impose a pre-determined life path on my clients. Rather, I see my role as fostering their individuality and autonomy. I want to support you in your own development so that you can make your own decisions. My focus is on promoting the freedom and strength of the individual, so that each person can find their authentic path.
Outside of work, I find balance and relaxation in dancing and my hobby of astronomy. The clear night sky has a special fascination for me – it is both a place of tranquility and a source of inspiration. In the vastness of the universe, I find grounding that helps me maintain balance in everyday life and continuously develop new perspectives.

Approach
In my work, I follow a psychodynamic therapy approach, combining scientifically-based methods with my experience as a therapist. Together, we will find an approach that fits you personally.
This means:
We start with your current challenges – in the here and now. We examine your feelings, thoughts, and actions – in short, how you experience the world.
We also look at your past experiences with yourself and in relationships with others, identifying patterns and finding ways to break them. The pace is set by you.
We work with different aspects of your personality that may have been overlooked so far. We provide the necessary support for their further development.
We use emotion-focused techniques that allow you to connect with your feelings and bring them into harmony with yourself.
You can expect from me unconditional acceptance and an attitude free from judgment. Grief, joy, anger, and all other feelings are welcome and can be part of our work together.
As is often the case, changes happen in small, but steady steps. I will accompany you with patience and empathy on your journey toward greater clarity, self-determination, and inner strength.
