I am currently on hiatus. Please contact one of the other great colleagues here! Thanks for your understanding.
I would describe myself as approachable, understanding and empathetic. I have an open mind and am very interested in understanding my clients' perspectives and life worlds as best as possible, because only then can I help effectively. After all, it’s about the clients’ real-life situations and their goals.
Focal point of my work is the empowerment of my clients and supporting them in (re)discovering their own resilience, self care and self efficacy skills. I work resource oriented and with a humanistic point of view. Conveying psychoeducative information and working with the clients as equals is important to me.
Coming from a cognitive behavioral background I will support you in finding out which thoughts and behavioral patterns aren‘t helpful anymore. We will explore from where these originate and create new ones together. Verbalizing your emotions and needs is something we will do on a regular basis. It is also always helpful to practice how to communicate these to other people.
Further topics that are important to me because of my own biography (born in Peru, raised in Peru/Austria/Germany) are: intersectionality, migration and cultural sensitivity. I will try my very best to offer a safe and benevolent space. That includes holding space for humans living within different frameworks of gender identity, relationships and sexuality.
