About me
I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology and am licensed as a Heilpraktiker for Psychotherapy. For over 16 years, I have supported people in navigating challenging life situations – during transitions, times of stress, or while seeking greater balance and self-confidence. My professional path has led me from crisis counselling and health psychology to obesity therapy and consulting on psychological well-being in organizations. Today, I focus entirely on individual work. Living in Portugal and in an international marriage allows me to deeply understand the experiences of expats and people working remotely.

Approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy forms the foundation of my work. Combined with systemic perspectives and solution-focused short-term therapy, I provide individualized and practical support. I view therapy and counseling as a collaborative project: you bring your knowledge of your situation, I bring my expertise and proven approaches. Together, we develop effective strategies for your personal goals. Focus areas: Depressive Mood: Over 13 years of experience using a systematic, activating approach that remains compassionate and human-centered. Stress & Burnout: Many clients seek support for stress management and recovery, drawing on my clinical experience and coaching/seminar work in organizations. ADHD Assessment & Structured Therapy: Assessment follows current gold standards of the field, followed by structured, evidence-based therapy approaches for adults.
