About me
Since 2011 I have been working as a psychologist and creative therapist in the Heiligenfeld psychosomatic clinic, in individual therapy sessions and especially in group therapy, particularly with managers and people in helping professions with a variety of health issues. Here I helped to set up and develop the focus areas of high sensitivity and developmental trauma, and shared many podcasts and videos. In addition to my diverse training in trauma therapy (NARM), systemic therapy (HSI), couples therapy (HSI), and body therapies, I have learned a lot here, including many approaches to mindfulness and spirituality, which I integrate and use very intuitively.
I studied abroad for 14 years, lived and worked as an expat (California; Rwanda, DR Congo and Wales), speak fluently English and have deep experience with intercultural relationships, transgenerational trauma, with survivors of war and genocide, and have also published a book on the subject. From my own experience I also know the issues that life and relationships in and between different cultures contribute. I have two daughters (16 and 20) and I know the challenges and beauties of being a mother, a partner, in separations, being a single parent and in relationships.
I have always been asked questions about what is healing and I like to talk about "the art of healing" because healing is really a holistic art that requires many skills of body, soul and spirit, self-awareness, a resonance space with the other person, and a deep inner connection and intuition that always need to be refined with a wise heart.
With a wealth of experience, deep empathy, clarity and openness, I accompany you in a unique way and intuitively on your healing and growth path, every couple or every group and look forward to meeting you, gladly for a free initial consultation.

Approach
An authentic, appreciative and empathetic attitude at eye level is important to me; a deeply connected spiritual connection in the sense of mindfulness, transpersonal or soulful embodied psychotherapy with a humanistic attitude.
I accompany clients to sense their core or essence, to allow self-compassion to arise, to integrate pain and injuries, to discover inner vitality, to really see and experience each other and to live healthy connections.
I bring with me a wealth of experience in methods and procedures from which I choose very intuitively and in an unique way and accompany you on your path. I call it: "the art of healing".
This includes methods such as inner child work/reparenting, self-regulation in the case of trauma and high sensitivity, somatic IFS (harmonizing inner personality parts and strengthening the self), constellation work and gestalt therapy and systemic chair and dialogue work. Methods from body therapy, such as: breathing therapy (QLB) and sensory awareness, movement and dance therapy, singing bowl massage, trauma-sensitive yoga with affirmations for healing, EFT (tapping acupressure), NARM (healing developmental trauma) and also painting and creative writing are part of the diversity of my healing art.
Mindfulness meditations, self-compassion, trance and fantasy journeys, silence and nature meditations are a very important building block.
From this variety of methods and experiences, I choose very intuitively and in relation to you what is suitable and can have a healing effect.
Beyond all methods, of course, the first priority is always our therapeutic relationship and these resonances, which create a safe, protected and appreciative space where healing and growth can take place.
I look forward to meeting you and what may emerge.
I work with individuals, couples, groups; online, in person, also by text and individually compiled offers.
