My offer

Whether you come alone or as a couple, I provide open-ended, nonjudgmental support and appreciation for you and your concerns.

My goal is for you to become self-sufficient and no longer require my services.

Ensuring that you feel comfortable and safe under my care is of utmost importance to me.

Topics

I specialize in assisting with relationship issues. My clients benefit from my specialization. By focusing solely on relationships, I am able to offer thorough and effective support. I have extensive experience helping individuals with a variety of topics related to relationships, including communication, conflict resolution, intimacy, and more. Additionally, I make it a priority to regularly continue my education and stay up to date with the latest research and techniques in my field in order to provide the best possible assistance to my clients.

Communication

Binational Relationship

Long Distance Relationship

Desire to have Children (unfulfilled or different desires)

Transitioning from Couple to Parents

Sexuality

Fear of loss / Jealousy

Find a suitable form of relationship

Infidelity and affairs

Attachment issues

Grief

I come alone

Are you currently single or have a private concern?

Your partner's absence is not a hindrance to couple therapy. It is just a different setting.

Individuals can use my services to bridge the waiting period for a therapy place funded by health insurance.

We come together

Would you like to work on your relationship together? Then it's best to come as a couple!

One of you is hesitant to come. How about a first meeting together to find out more?

Personal

I have always found it exciting to support people during times of change and crisis. That's why I decided to pursue training and further education in this field after completing my studies and doctoral degree.

With over ten years of experience, I have been coaching individuals on professional (re)orientation and career-related issues at the University of Heidelberg since 2014, and I also provide conflict resolution advice to managers and employees in the workplace.

Since 2019, I have been working in my own practice, where I assist couples and individuals with relationship issues.

Having lived and worked in London, Sydney, and Washington D.C., I offer consultations in both German and English.

On a personal note, I know all too well the pain of being in a relationship that drains more energy than it gives. However, I see crises as an opportunity for change and improvement. While I don't think it always makes sense to stay in a relationship, I do believe that it's always worth working on - whether to improve the quality of the relationship or to make a well-considered and conscious decision to separate. My approach of counseling is open-ended, but I am always pleased when I can help couples find their way out of a crisis together.

If you believe that I might be a good fit for you, I look forward to meeting you soon!
