Welcome to my profile!

I am a licensed child and adolescent psychotherapist specializing in behavioral therapy and I work with children, adolescents, and young adults in my private practice. The costs of psychotherapy can be covered by private health insurance or as a self-payer.

In my work, an appreciative attitude is particularly important to me. 
For me, psychotherapy means creating a safe space together where worries, feelings, and conflicts can be expressed. Especially with younger children, I involve the whole family, not to look for mistakes or blame, but to understand together, with kindness and understanding, how challenging situations arose. Based on this understanding, solutions can be found that suit the individual family. There is no universal recipe, only the joint process of talking, searching, and trying things out together.

With adolescents, the focus is primarily on their own wishes and concerns regarding therapy. The involvement of parents depends on the issues at hand and on how much the adolescents themselves want them to be involved. I am bound by confidentiality: what is discussed in therapy remains confidential.

In order to understand psychological symptoms, I believe it is important to consider various levels: the body, or biological factors, the psyche, and also the social environment. This includes not only family and friends, but also societal influences. It is therefore important to me to work sensitively with regard to diverse realities of life—this includes topics such as sexuality, gender, racism, poverty, or other experiences of discrimination.

I look forward to getting to know you and finding out in an initial conversation whether we will be a good fit.
