I grew up in the Upper Lusatia region. From there, I was drawn to London, initially working as an au pair. After a brief detour studying Social Work in Berlin, I fulfilled my dream of working as a bicycle courier in London for a few years. This job funded my subsequent return to my Social Work studies. I completed my practicum in outpatient palliative social work, where I also worked after graduating. It was there that I first encountered the person-centred psychotherapeutic approach of Carl Rogers, which continues to serve as my professional foundation to this day.

I then lived in Ottawa, Canada for 13 years, where I eventually established my private practice as a social worker/psychotherapist.

During my first years in Ottawa, I completed several certifications in personal training and fitness, leading exercise groups and workshops for pregnant women, mothers, and their babies. Through this work, I discovered Somatic Experiencing training. Over the course of this training, I realized how deeply interested I was in the connection between the body and psychotherapeutic work. I decided to return more fully to psychotherapy, and in 2017, after completing my Master of Social Work, I established my private practice as a psychotherapist.

In 2020, I returned to Germany with my family. My psychotherapeutic practice in Ottawa transitioned into an online practice. Since 2022, I have been working as a Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie (alternative practitioner of psychotherapy) in my own office in Dresden Neustadt. I have continued to offer online therapy since then.

In my work, I integrate person-centred psychotherapy with somatic approaches such as Somatic Experiencing®, the Safe and Sound Protocol, and Transforming Touch.

I look forward to meeting you and exploring together whether my approach to therapy is a good fit for you and your needs.
