About me

 

I am a psychologist (M.Sc.) with a focus on counseling psychology, offering support to individuals, couples, and families in my practice in Heidmoor as well as online – in both German and English.

In my master’s thesis, I explored the concept of transformative learning – how meaningful and lasting personal change can emerge through new perspectives and reflective experiences. My work combines a strong scientific foundation with a respectful, resource-oriented approach.

I have completed further training in systemic therapy, sociotherapy, and stress and resource management. At the center of my work is the therapeutic conversation with you. I support you in gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, bringing clarity to your current situation, and making use of your own strengths. This can help you navigate challenges more effectively and discover new paths for yourself.

Over the course of my life, I have lived in Germany, the United States, England, and Spain. These intercultural experiences shape my perspective and enrich my work with people from diverse backgrounds.

Alongside my private practice, I also work in the field of hospice care, supporting people in times of vulnerability, transition, and loss. This experience deepens my understanding of what it means to accompany individuals through complex and emotionally challenging phases of life.

I am not only a psychologist, but also a wife, mother, and grandmother. My own life experiences – including marriage, divorce, and raising three children as a single parent, as well as raising a child with my current husband – allow me to relate to a wide range of life situations and to support people with empathy and understanding.

In my personal life, I am involved in animal welfare. Two of our dogs are currently being trained as therapy dogs and are already gaining supervised practical experience in this role.
