My fascination for psychology and human behavior sprouted at age 14. Hourlong conversations with my mother, who was a teacher with great interest in psychological correlations in human behavior, trained my mind and perception. In the late 90s, several profound experiences led me to embark on a spiritual path.
A detour via university to study for teaching certification and social pedagogy, led me on to join a two-year psychological counselling training. As a complementary practitioner for psychotherapy (certified as ‘Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie’), I am specialized in holistic psychotherapy and licensed to practice psychotherapy in Germany.
As a therapist, I offer a blend of intuitive understanding and practical guidance. My goal is to create a safe space where you can be fully seen, heard, and respected, while also feeling gently challenged to grow. I work with clients who value independence and self-reliance, but who are also open to deeper insights—whether they come from within or from exploring more spiritual or philosophical perspectives. My multicultural background has taught me the importance of honoring different mindsets and customs, and I bring this openness into my practice, meeting each client exactly where they are.
Individuals who seek my services are willing to work on their given issues. I am their scout, motivator and compassionate companion on this journey. Seeing that my clients derive new insights, deeper understanding and inspiration from our sessions and are encouraged to trust and take action to live a more conscious and fulfilling life fills me with immense joy.
I believe that true healing begins with being fully seen and heard. In our work together, I create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment, honoring your unique journey.
One of the most essential aspects of the therapy I offer is the experience of being continuously seen—through all the ups and downs of the process. This is not about perfection, but about being valued as you are, in every moment. Seeing yourself reflected in this benevolent mirror is healing in itself. It’s a new and often transformative experience: seeing yourself through the eyes of someone who values and respects you, who honors your struggles and appreciates your wit and resilience.
In this space, we create a resonance room—a safe and expansive space where your thoughts, emotions, and experiences are met with empathy, respect, and understanding. It’s a space where your patterns and struggles are not just observed but deeply understood, both intuitively and analytically, as part of the larger story of who you are.
You are accompanied by someone who walks with you through your darkest jungles and cheers you on. Someone who is not ashamed when you are, who sees your strengths and your weaknesses, and values everything you bring into therapy. This genuine, compassionate presence allows for a profound sense of safety and self-discovery, giving you the freedom to grow into the person you want to be.
As your therapist, I embody authenticity, genuine presence, and a deep respect for your individuality. By offering unconditional positive regard, congruence, and accurate empathic understanding, I provide a space that many clients describe as profoundly different from their past experiences—where they may have felt criticized, overshadowed by others’ expectations, or dismissed in their struggles. Here, you’re met with openness and acceptance, not judgment or “I know what’s best for you” advice. This experience of being deeply understood and respected often becomes a cornerstone of healing, allowing you to explore and grow with greater confidence and self-trust.
My approach is holistic, looking at the whole person—mind, body, and soul. By combining techniques from person-centered therapy, CBT, systemic therapy, and soul psychology, I aim to address both the surface struggles you face and the deeper questions of purpose and meaning that guide your life.
Having grown up across different cultural environments, I deeply respect the complexities of identity and how cultural influences shape who we are. Your individual background and experiences are integral to our work, and I honor the diversity you bring into the room.
Change doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Together, we’ll take small, realistic steps toward clarity, confidence, and balance—creating meaningful, lasting change in a way that feels manageable and sustainable. I believe that the balance between thoughtful reflection and intentional action is key to real transformation, helping you move from feeling stuck to finding freedom and joy in your life.
I love to be of service for souls who can benefit from what I have to give. In general. And working as a therapist feels like the best way to give that.
