More about my Background
About me...
Embarking on the search for the right counseling or support can be challenging, sometimes even emotionally stirring. Just the thought of initiating that first contact can be intimidating. It's understandable to hesitate at this juncture; after all, it's a significant step that deserves thoughtful consideration.​
​
If you're here, reading these words, it might indicate a desire for change. Perhaps you're seeking a more fulfilling relationship, enhanced self-confidence, or relief from stress, tension, or other burdensome emotions. Such challenges can emerge in various facets of life, be it personal, professional, or within organizational contexts.​
​
As a systemic counselor and psychologist, I work with individuals, couples, families, and organizations, guiding them towards greater clarity, inner balance, and harmonious interactions. My private practice is located in Striesen, Dresden, and I look forward to the opportunity to meet you.
Profile & Professional Journey
I didn’t start out in the world of psychology and I believe that’s one of my greatest strengths. I learned to work from the ground up, took on responsibility, led people, and experienced organizational dynamics firsthand, long before turning to the study of psychology and counseling.
​
Today, I bring together systemic counseling and psychological depth with business acumen, hands-on experience, and a deep sensitivity for what truly moves people and organizations.
