About me

From an early age, I have been fascinated by how people interact and deal with challenges—and how important support, understanding, and new perspectives can be in this process. This path led me first to study psychology and eventually to train in systemic therapy. In my work, I combine professional expertise with a human, approachable attitude. It is important to me not to focus on problems, but on resources, opportunities, and what strengthens you in life.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Person-centered approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
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 systemic therapy, people are not viewed in isolation, but always in relation to their environment—be it family, partnership, circle of friends, or professional environment. Problems and challenges are not understood as individual “mistakes,” but as expressions of certain patterns and dynamics. Instead of emphasizing deficits, systemic therapy focuses on resources, possibilities, and new perspectives. For me, the question “What helps?” is therefore more important than “Why?”. In my practice, I offer you a safe space where you can openly and honestly address your issues. My approach is: Goal-oriented – it is very important to me to clearly define your personal goals from the outset. This ensures that we are all pulling in the same direction. We then work according to the principle of “as much as necessary, as little as possible” in order to achieve these goals effectively with as few sessions as possible. creative – with openness to new ideas, I invite you to try out different perspectives and rediscover your own strengths. Change can also feel easy. human – I treat you with empathy, respect, and approachability.
