As a psychotherapist, I experience daily that life is a multifaceted journey, not always easy or free of pain. My goal in psychotherapy is to approach you with empathy and appreciation during turbulent phases of life to build mutual trust as we address individual challenges. Based on the difficulties you bring up, I aim to help you mindfully experience your feelings and thoughts, access your abilities, and use them for your continued self-development. With my experiences across different cultures, I understand what living between diverse value systems can mean. Honest and open mutual exchange forms the foundation for psychotherapy, helping me support you in living a life aligned with your values and realistic goals.

My therapeutic work focuses on following areas

• Depression
• Anxiety disorders (z.B. social phobia oder phobia)
• Stressful life situations
• Focusing and mindfulness exercises
• Clients with multicultural backgrounds

Languages

• German
