Behandlungsphilosophie

I have always been fascinated with what therapy can do, so I have trained in different approaches; Systems Theory, CBT, Psychodrama, Transpersonal and Gestalt Therapy. These trainings have enriched my skills and I continue to keep learning and absorbing new techniques.
With individuals I mostly work on relationship issues, trauma, loss and grief, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, chronic illness and health management.

Behandlungsphilosophie

I believe in person’s inherent worth and underlying drive for life and wellbeing, even in the grip of very painful emotions and self-sabotaging behavior. I see clients as their own authority on their life’s direction, and myself as an attentive non-judgmental trained companion for the time needed.
