About Me

I help individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, or unhelpful patterns to understand and shift deep-seated emotional responses. Through Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), we quickly address root causes, fostering lasting change. For couples, I offer Emotion-focussed and Systemic therapy to build stronger connections and reduce conflict. My approach includes practical coaching, providing clear strategies for impulse control, trauma, or psychosomatic issues. I create a collaborative space for real transformation.

Approach

My work narrows in on the hidden feelings that replay in your life and relationships, turning moments of overwhelm into material we can work with. In Berlin or online, in English or German, sessions are deliberate and paced to your tolerance, mixing focused reflection with practical steps. I bring in live, emotion-focused interventions during sessions and short, actionable coaching between meetings to strengthen impulse control, ease anxiety, and reduce bodily tension. People facing mood, attention or cross-cultural stresses often find this steady, collaborative rhythm helpful.
