Who am I?
I am a licensed psychological psychotherapist with Danish and German Authorization.
I grew up in Germany and completed my academic and clinical training there. After earning my degree in psychology, I completed a three-year postgraduate program at a university hospital (Medizinische Hochschule Hannover), where I obtained my certification in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
After completing my training, I worked at UKSH Lübeck in the trauma and psychotherapy department of a day clinic, gaining experience in the treatment of trauma-related disorders and working with patients in emotionally challenging situations. I am currently continuing my professional development through advanced training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
I offer therapy in German and English. In addition, I have completed Module 5 of the Danish language program and understand Danish well. I’m continuously working on gaining more confidence in speaking Danish, and I’m happy to offer therapy in Danish – especially if you’re open to occasional pauses or switching to English or German as needed.
What Happens in Therapy?
Sometimes, life experiences, trauma, or ongoing stress can lead to emotional difficulties, unwanted symptoms, or a general feeling of being stuck or disconnected. My goal is to support you in finding more clarity, strength, and well-being in your life.
At the core of my therapeutic work is the relationship we build together. I strive to create a space of safety, openness, and mutual respect, where you feel seen, heard, and valued as an individual – just as you are.
Therapy is a collaborative process. In our first sessions, we will take time to get to know your background, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve. Together, we’ll develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
You’re welcome to bring whatever is on your mind – even if it feels unclear or difficult to express. You don’t need to have all the answers. We will move at a pace that feels right for you, especially when working with emotionally intense topics or trauma. Emotional stabilization and psychological safety are always our first priority.
As a therapist trained in CBT, I work with a broad range of evidence-based methods, including:
- Second and third wave CBT approaches
- Emotion-focused techniques (e.g. chair work)
- Trauma-focused interventions, such as IRRT (Imagery Rescripting and Reprocessing Therapy)
- Acceptance and mindfulness-based strategies (ACT)
- Exercises that strengthen self-compassion and empowerment
The goal of therapy is not only to gain insight but to develop concrete tools that you can apply in everyday life – even outside of the therapy room.
