I am a Gestalt psychotherapist, having completed a comprehensive 4-year training and undergoing certification. I provide psychotherapy for individuals, couples and adolescents. I make sure that my office is a safe space for everyone. I believe in the healing power of openness, inclusiveness and acceptance. I have my practice in Leipzig (Leipzig, DE).
​
I work with both universal challenges of human experience (such as depression, anxiety, stress, loneliness, searching for the meaning of life, codependence, illness and psychosomatic problems, breakup, mourning and other life crises) as well as with more specific issues.
​
Emotions and body are as important to me as thoughts and cognitive processes. I support you in naming and eliminating factors that limit you and cause suffering. Each person is an integral part of the world around them. It is important in what context a person exists, i.e. what are his or her relationships with other people and with the environment. I help to deepen or improve these relationships.
Specializations
WORK WITH COUPLES
​
I invite couples to work on their relationship - together we look at the couple's resources and their limitations. The client of couples therapy is the relationship itself, that the two people created together - not only their individual stories, needs or limitations. This is why it is so important to look at mutual interactions, communication in the relationship, values and goals of both partners. Communicating and finding solutions and a way 'back' to each other is only possible in an atmosphere of respect and willingness to understand the Other.
​
Couple work is often a challenge, but at the same time it gives me great satisfaction. I especially like this kind of work, because together we fight for/secure something, that is created by both sides - their life together, memories, dreams, and sometimes family life, including children. It makes this work very important and valuable.

​
LGBTQ+
​
I also specialize in working with LGBTQIAP+ people and their families. I support non-binary and transgender people during the transition period. I help in coming out and working through internalized homophobia. My attention is directed to minority stress, exclusion and multiple discrimination.
​
I work affirmatively with gender, sexual and relational diversity (GSRD); kink, polyamory, chemsex, asexuality, unconventional lifestyle; neurodiversity / neuroatypicality; refugee and immigrant people; people in homelessness crisis; activists (and activist burnout).
​
​
NEURODIVERSITY
​
I have experience in working with people on the autism spectrum and ADHD. Together, we can look at your difficulties in everyday functioning in a neurotypical society and check what practices and behavioral patterns will help reduce their severity. I use affirmative language to describe neurodiversity to help the person access the natural resources that come from being atypical.
