About me

I explore these questions with you – not only cognitively but also emotionally, and through awareness of your body. In this way, we don’t simply talk about your concerns. You can experience yourself differently in the therapeutic relationship, try out new ways of relating, and discover what feels right for you.

Together, we can understand what is still affecting you today and explore new ways of responding, relating, and making choices that feel more aligned with who you are.

I bring many years of experience supporting people through difficult and challenging life situations. My work in international crisis contexts, including Iraq and Afghanistan, has been particularly formative.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Body therapyRecommended for those who want to connect their mind and body to release stress or trauma through physical sensations and movement.
Humanistic psychologyRecommended for those looking for a therapy that emphasizes personal growth and self-fulfillment, focusing on becoming your best self in a positive, non-judgmental space.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.

My trauma-informed, integrative approach includes methods such as NARM®, PITT, and systemic counseling. I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can gently reconnect with your feelings and needs, knowing you are fully supported. In moments of acute crisis, I also offer practical grounding tools you can use between sessions.

Experience

250+ sessions on It's ComplicatedAlmost 2 years at It's Complicated

Before starting my private practice in Germany, I had the opportunity to work for and in conflict-affected countries – especially as a trauma advisor for Iraq and Afghanistan.

In 2021, following the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan, I both provided psychological support to Afghan local staff and coordinated the team involved in this effort. That experience touched me deeply and confirmed what I carry at the heart of my work: to be there for people when they are going through their hardest times.

Education

I hold a state license to practice psychotherapy (Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie) and have completed over 1,000 hours of advanced training in trauma-informed and integrative counseling and therapy approaches. These include, in particular, the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM®) developed by Dr Laurence Heller and Psychodynamic Imaginative Trauma Therapy (PITT) developed by Prof Luise Reddemann. In addition, I am qualified in trauma counseling, systemic coaching, and conflict counseling. My Master’s degree in Conflict Studies provides a strong foundation for my deep understanding of both internal and interpersonal conflicts.
