About me

I bring many years of experience in social and psychiatric work as well as a creative professional background in design and media. My systemic approach is resource-oriented, combining dialogue with creative and experiential methods. I meet people with openness, humor, and respect – with trust and connection as the foundation for meaningful change.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Systemic ApproachRecommended for those who want to look at how different systems—like family, work, or society—affect their behavior and relationships.
Systemic coachingRecommended for those who want to improve their personal or professional relationships by understanding how they function within larger systems.
Systemic therapyRecommended for those who want to understand how their relationships and environments influence their behavior and emotions, particularly within family or organizational systems.
In my work, I combine systemic therapy with an open, appreciative, and often humorous attitude. I view people in the context of their relationships and life circumstances. Challenges rarely occur in isolation; they emerge in interaction with the environment – and just as often, solutions can be found there. I don’t provide ready-made answers, but ask questions that open up new perspectives. Change can mean trying something new, allowing silence, or taking a step back – always at a pace that feels right for the individual. My approach is resource-oriented, creative, and experiential. Alongside dialogue, I integrate body- and creativity-based methods to make development tangible beyond purely cognitive reflection. What matters most to me is authenticity and working together on equal footing, with trust as the foundation of any therapeutic process.
