About me

Many people come to me at a point where they're facing a decision—especially regarding career, education, or life direction. Often, they've already spent a lot of time thinking, weighing options, and having conversations. Despite this, the feeling remains: I'm stuck. I support people between the ages of 25 and 55 who sense that something needs to change—for example, if their current job no longer feels right, a career change is on the cards, or they're questioning their purpose in life. Decisions can trigger significant uncertainty. At the same time, they can be a powerful starting point for personal growth. In my work, I support people in rediscovering their own sense of direction and developing confidence in their decisions. My professional background as a social worker and psychological counselor has allowed me to work with people in developmental phases, crises, and reorientations for many years. It has become clear time and again that when people begin to make conscious decisions and take responsibility for their own path, not only does a single situation change, but often their entire outlook on life. Today, I support people, especially during phases of career reorientation and decision-making. The goal of our work is for you to take your next step not out of fear or pressure, but from inner clarity.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
LogotherapyRecommended for those who are searching for meaning and purpose in life to guide their healing process.
Systemic coachingRecommended for those who want to improve their personal or professional relationships by understanding how they function within larger systems.
In my work, I combine meaning-oriented counseling (logotherapy) with elements of coaching and psychosocial support. Many people come to me with thoughts like: • "I'm afraid of making the wrong decision." • "Everything is actually going well—but it doesn't feel right anymore." • "I don't know what I really want anymore." Decisions are often blocked when different expectations, fears, or possibilities are at play simultaneously. Together, we create a space where these inner voices become visible and can be reorganized. An important principle from logotherapy guides my work: People have the freedom to adopt a stance toward their lives and take responsibility for their own path. I support you in: • better understanding your inner conflicts • gaining a clearer understanding of your values and life direction • and developing renewed confidence in your own decision-making abilities. For me, a good decision is one you can stand by – even later on.

Experience

For over two decades, I have worked with people in various psychosocial contexts. During this time, I have supported families, children, adults, and professionals – in individual sessions, groups, and counseling settings – both in inpatient and outpatient settings. Many of the people I've worked with were going through periods of change: career reorientation, personal crises, or life situations where their previous paths no longer served them. These experiences have shaped my work today. I support people who want to reorient themselves and regain confidence in their own decisions.
