About me
My life is characterized by diversity.
​
After I started studying medicine and psychology, I soon devoted myself entirely to my interests in literature, theatre, art, and culture. After completing my German Studies degree, I worked as a director/production assistant and dramaturge for various theaters. My passion was to support people in their development as well as processes in their creation. Since I find profound encounters with people to be enriching and meaningful, my path finally led me to psychotherapy.
​
I experience art and psychotherapy more and more as two professional fields that stimulate each other.
​
Both art and therapy create intense processes through emotional encounters. I was able to experience such intense meetings first and foremost during my training as a volunteer hospice worker.
