About me

I am dedicated to couple and trauma therapy and believe that “we are hurt in relationship and we can heal in relationship”. I think that developing and growing personally within a love relationship is one of the most challenging tasks in life but also the most rewarding. Improving our relationships contributes at the same time to our individual well-being – emotionally and bodily. Enabling peace and secure attachment within a couple enables peace within families, communities and the broader society. We need it so much. I have studied EFT (for couples, individuals and families) during various trainings in Germany and Northern America (online). Just as important I personally experienced EFT together with my husband of 20 years. Self-awareness, -growth and -empathy as well as supervision and peer consulting are essential to me as a precondition in supporting and accompanying others.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
EFT: Emotionally focused therapyRecommended for couples or individuals who want to strengthen emotional connections in relationships by exploring feelings and attachment.

As a part of the global Emotionally Focused Therapy network I am committed to support couples, individuals and families in times of distress, conflict and crisis to develop secure and trusting relationships. From an EFT point of view we human beings need secure attachment as a basic need. However, we often aren’t used to formulate and express our needs in ways that partners and others can hear it properly. This can lead into a negative cycle of misunderstanding and miscommunication. I will support you in identifying your negative cycle and stepping out of it; experiencing new ways of deeper connections to yourself and to your partner. In this process painful wounds of life – attachment trauma, rejections and discrimination experiences – can heal through the power of love, empathy and corrective attachment experiences. I combine EFT approaches with therapeutic approaches from trauma therapy, above all I work with Brainspotting (David Grand). I welcome individuals, couples and families from broad socio-cultural, migrant and refugees backgrounds living in the Berlin/Potsdam area and beyond. My background as a social anthropologist who has lived in Brazil, Western Africa, in the Middle East and Eastern Europe has taught me to honour and respect differences and highlighten key universals as emotion and attachment needs.
