Licensed psychotherapist (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, single & group treatments for adults)

In a first session I offer a safe space to explore your intentions, your current situation, relevant life events and your (mental) health. I can then give advice on treatment options and create an individual treatment plan. Psychedelic integration coaching gives space to express your experiences and explore them in relation to your intention, your life story, and your current life situation, which can include creative methods. In this process I will support you to create meaning and connection to your life. When the focus is more on dealing with adverse effects of a psychedelic journey or psychological symptoms, I am drawing from proven CBT interventions such as exercises to reduce stress, to deal with dissociation and emotions. Practicing makes solutions tangible, enables corrective learning experiences and encourages to try out changes in everyday life.
I was born in Berlin 1983. After ending my studies of Clinical Psychology (2011 | Universität Potsdam) I gained a license in psychotherapy (cognitive-behavioural therapy, 2017 | Psycholog. Hochschule Berlin), later also for group psychotherapy (2021 | Berliner Akademie für Psychotherapie).
Throughout my studies (2008 - 2020) I was working in neuro-cognitive and clinical science for many years, first as a student research assistant (Max-Planck-Institut Berlin, Freie Universität Berlin), later as a doctoral student (Otto-von-Guericke Universität), assisting clinical research projects as a psychotherapist in training (Psychologische Hochschule/Charité Berlin Mitte).
In the past years my interest in the therapeutic benefits of altered states of consciousness grew and I started to study with indigenous cultures, learning their traditions, rituals and music in the peruvian and brazilian amazon. I got employed as a psychotherapist at OVID Clinic for Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy where I was guiding our patient's Ketamine experiences and supporting with integration psychotherapy. Currently I am offering outpatient treatments and integration in my private practice in Berlin.
