Welcome

Are you looking for more joy in life, inner freedom, and lightness?
Would you like to understand yourself better and connect with your true needs and feelings?
Do you want to find out what truly matters to you – discovering your personal values and purpose?
Do you feel a desire to shape your relationships more lovingly and consciously?
Would you like to explore new paths, unfold your full potential, and leave old patterns behind?

Therapy can be a powerful companion on your journey.

How we work together

In therapy, we create a safe space where you can express your concerns, inner conflicts, and personal goals. Together, we explore which inner and outer conditions contribute to the development and maintenance of your issues – and develop individual, effective solutions.

Your strengths and resources are at the center of our work. I use methods from hypnosystemic trauma therapy (Gunther Schmidt) and schema therapy (Jeffrey Young), complemented by current findings from cognitive behavioral therapy, clinical hypnosis (Milton Erickson), and mindfulness.

Therapy is transparent and conducted at eye level: you will always understand why certain questions are asked or exercises suggested. Your active participation is welcome and part of the process. Upon request, you will receive impulses between sessions to deepen the work, such as:

Worksheets and reflection aids
Creative tasks such as drawings or collages
Writing exercises or guided imagery
Audio files for self-hypnosis or relaxation

These exercises help to sustainably integrate insights and changes into your everyday life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Practical Information

About Me

Momo could listen in such a way that people who were undecided suddenly knew exactly what they wanted ... someone who felt that his whole life was a failure would suddenly realize that he was important to the world in his own particular way.

The idea of helping others by simply listening has fascinated me since childhood. My goal ever since has been to learn to listen with the same depth and care as Momo in Michael Ende’s eponymous book.
