Clinical Psychologist & Psychotherapist in training
Berlin, Germany
I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy and systemic coaching.
I am a clinical psychologist, a non-medical practitioner for psychotherapy (Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie), and currently in training as a psychotherapist.
In 2019, two therapists set out to tackle a complicated problem.
One does not have to be a therapist to realise that life is complicated. But finding the right therapist, with whom you can build a strong alliance, doesn't have to be. This is the founding principle of It's Complicated, a global network of 2,500+ therapists on a mission to build the world's most sustainable therapy platform.A few years in, we've helped tens of thousands of clients and counting, and built thriving therapy communities in major European cities such as Berlin, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Lisbon, and Vienna.
It's Complicated is not suitable for acute psychological or medical crises or emergency situations.If you are in a serious crisis and need urgent help, please contact a local emergency service or use one of these resources instead.
