About me
Originally from Germany, I was trained as a Clinical Psychologist in Belgium. After completing my university studies, I moved to Ireland where I worked for five years as therapist and became a fully accredited psychoanalytic psychotherapist. In 2022 I moved to Milan and thanks to my extensive international experiences and working with people from all over the world, I have developed deep cultural awareness and flexibility. I did specialized trainings in Lacanian psychoanalysis, trauma therapy, couples therapy and student counselling. I offer psychotherapy in three different languages: English, German, and Italian.
My experience working in different mental health facilities with adults, teenagers, children and parents from over ten different countries has shaped the practice I am offering today. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where we can work together on any questions, discomforts, or struggles you might be facing in your life. I also do parental consultation: if you are a parent and look for advices regarding your child or you are just insecure about how to deal with certain challenging situations, I invite you to book a session.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
PsychoanalysisGood for those who want to explore how their unconscious mind and early experiences affect their current behaviors and feelings.
Each of us comes to therapy with a different reason, different background, and different questions. As a psychoanalytic psychotherapist I make sure to attune to your individual situation and needs. No matter what kind of questions or discomforts you have, all of them are worth it to talk about, and I am going to be a careful listener for whichever concern you will bring into the session. Importantly, psychoanalytic psychotherapy does not just explore rational thinking and evident feelings, but goes much deeper, inviting you, step by step, to also explore the unconscious drivers of your behaviour or struggles. I know, this might all sound a bit abstract, but don’t worry: we will simply start in the “here and now”, working first on what comes up as a pressing issue in your life, and will then slowly explore also the “there and then”, at your own pace and always attuning our path to your specific situation. Given the nature of psychoanalytic psychotherapy, I tend to do mostly long term therapy, but I also have extensive experience with short term therapy and parental consultation. During our first meeting, we will see together what suits you most.
