About me

I am a trained psychologist (M.Sc.) with a focus on systemic therapy, organizational psychology, mindfulness & performance psychology. Over the past few years, I have worked as a psychologist with adolescents and adults.

In addition to my professional expertise, my most important values, firmly anchored in my philosophy of life, define me: curiosity, courage, joy of life, and an open heart.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
ACT: Acceptance and commitment therapyRecommended for those who want to stop fighting negative thoughts and learn how to live with more acceptance and focus on what really matters in life.
Humanistic psychologyRecommended for those looking for a therapy that emphasizes personal growth and self-fulfillment, focusing on becoming your best self in a positive, non-judgmental space.
Systemic approachRecommended for those who want to look at how different systems—like family, work, or society—affect their behavior and relationships.

In my work, the focus is always on the person – with all their challenges, strengths, and opportunities for growth.

Creating a psychological safe space with a good therapeutical relationship is essential. A place where people feel safe to open up without being judged.

My goal is to support people in finding their own answers, developing new perspectives, and creating lasting change.

I totally enjoy accompanying my clients on this journey.
