About me
I work with people who want to better understand themselves: in their relationships, during personal crises, or at moments when life feels unclear or overwhelming. Often, these phases arise when something familiar no longer works and what comes next is still undefined.
In my work, I offer a calm and supportive space to slow down, reflect, and make sense of what is happening. I believe that meaningful change begins when people feel seen, understood, and connected to their own experiences. My aim is not to provide quick fixes, but to support clarity, self-trust, and sustainable inner movement.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Nonviolent CommunicationRecommended for those who want to improve communication and to regulate conflicts by learning how to express their feelings and needs and listening to other’s.
Systemic ApproachRecommended for those who want to look at how different systems—like family, work, or society—affect their behavior and relationships.
I work from a systemic, solution- and resource-oriented perspective. I do not see individuals in isolation, but always in relation to their relationships, life contexts, and the social structures that shape their experiences. Power-critical perspectives are an integral part of my work, as they help make visible how external conditions influence our emotions, relationships, and choices.
My style is calm, clear, and empathetic. I listen carefully, ask reflective questions, and help clients recognize patterns and connections. I hold space even when conversations feel uncomfortable or uncertain, allowing change to unfold at an appropriate pace.
I believe development happens when people approach themselves with curiosity rather than judgment. Lightness and humor may emerge when helpful, opening new ways of seeing. My goal is to support clients in feeling more grounded, confident, and ready to take courageous steps toward change.
Experience
5 years in practice
For three years, I have been supporting people through challenging life phases, moments when certainties begin to break down and new orientation is needed. As a systemic counselor, I work with individuals to navigate crises, activate inner resources, and explore new ways forward.
Over time, I have also been working as a mediator, supporting couples and teams around topics such as communication, relationship dynamics, and mutual understanding.
Alongside my counseling work, I have been active since 2019 as a political educator and facilitator in the field of democratic education. My work focuses on topics such as discrimination, diversity, and social participation, and takes place within companies, organizations, and educational institutions.
