Verified

“With 15 years of experience, my approach is relational and trauma-informed. As an LGBTQ+ affirming counsellor, I offer care that honors your identity, your longings, and the nonlinear rhythm of your healing.”

About Me

I practice as a Transcultural Counselor in Berlin-Mitte. I help you manage anxiety, grief, mood problems, identity questions, and relationship issues. I offer counseling and psychodynamic therapy in a straightforward, confidential space to name feelings and change patterns.

Approach

Many people I work with face life changes, heartbreak, emotional overwhelm, or a sense of disconnection. Often, they’re holding questions about who they are and what matters now. I’m here to help you reconnect with yourself and build tools for self-trust and care in your life and relationships. Whether we meet online or in Berlin, we’ll make space for what’s emerging in you.
