In my work, I combine an integrative psychological and psychotherapeutic approach. In the front end, my aim is to support my counterpart in learning how to flow during an experience, catalyse and make sense of meaningful insights and move from chaos as well as oftentimes rigidity into harmony and wholeness afterwards.

I have always been fascinated by the depths of the human mind and intrapersonal connections. Over the last decade, my curiosity for exploring the pure core of our being led me to the teachings of various cultural and “religious” currents.
The human being grasps me in the individual uniqueness, whereby it is the imprints, beliefs, in the course of which vulnerabilities, fears, insecurities, and weaknesses are - the said corners and edges, according to social conventions negatively connoted or often stigmatized parts, which nevertheless fuel the greatest potential in themselves and let a person be not only rather approachable and human, but also hold the greatest potential in themselves. Parts
that are present in each of us.
I am trained in clinical psychology and psychotherapy following an integrative approach. In my work I apply third-wave modalities of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), including Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Schema Therapy, and combine those with psychodynamic approaches and interventions.
We are all in our very own life reality. For this reason, I consider it indispensable to meet up with my counterpart where he or she is at the moment. Therefore I do not limit myself to a specific approach, but rather to enter into a relationship with one another. In the centre of my work there always will be the human encounter. We, humans, learn in relationships, in relationship to our environment, the beings around us, and nature as well as in relationship to
ourselves, our needs, fears, woundings, boundaries and mystery.
The source of realization in general gets back to consciousness. As a meditation and mindfulness trainer, it is one of my beliefs that the connection between body mind and soul builds the concept of wholeness. To sense that connection and be in our body, I integrate somatic-centred interventions based on trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy.
My centre of life is in berlin, where I work in my own practice and digitally.
My clients are individuals and couples – and leaders or entrepreneurs in a business context.
Integration means to make whole or bring into wholeness. After a profound experience, durable healing and sustainable growth are (can be) the results of harvesting insights and experiences as well as practising new, self-loving lifestyle choices.
Preparation
Support in the integration process ideally starts with preparation before the medicine experience. Preparation can serve as a harm reduction process for the individual. It helps to make an educated choice on how to make space and time to set the right intention, apply the psychedelic with care and attention as well as navigate the psychedelic realm.
Together we go through different stages, which may arise, talk about what to expect and learn about strategies on how to face potentially challanging times with a strong foundation and openness.
Integration
Post-psychedelic experience, it’s not uncommon to feel flooded with information, overwhelmed by emotion, and with a lack of clarity on how to process and move on.
Integration is the essential part to move insights from conceptual to actual and make them tangible with long-lasting, significant change.
As each person’s psychedelic experience can be radically different, so too will your integration work varies, based on your individual circumstances, your specific intention and what you want to gain out of it.
For me there are three main pillars of integration, I like to address in the work. The emotional, somatic and psycho-spiritual. Again, nuances differ for each of us, therefore focusing on the integration process.
Next to the inquiry, integration requires a safe space for the client being able to open up. As a clinical psychologist I am aware, that interpersonal relationship is one of the key factors for progress, which is a continuous interplay of opening and deepening.
Experience has shown, that I can create a meaningful bridge between traditional knowledge
and contemporary western and more scientifically informed psychology, with my
multidimensional approach.
