Services I provide include psychotherapy, counseling, and ADHD diagnostics. These are offered both in person and online.
Accepted insurance types include private health insurance, self-pay, government employee health coverage (Beihilfe, Heilfürsorge) and reimbursement procedures for publicly insured patients (Kostenerstattungsverfahren, KEV).
Counseling is suitable if you are seeking support during challenging life phases or if you would like guidance after having recovered from a psychological disorder in order to strengthen and maintain your mental well being.
Counseling can only be offered on a self-pay basis and does not replace psychotherapy. It is only appropriate if you are currently not experiencing a significant psychological disorder. Counseling focuses on self-reflection, personal development, and support in navigating life challenges. Typical topics include stress and burnout, relationship difficulties, life transitions, decision-making, grief, and strengthening emotional resilience.
Psychotherapy is indicated when psychological symptoms cause severe suffering or interfere significantly with daily functioning. Treatment begins with diagnostic assessment sessions to understand your current difficulties, clarify potential diagnoses, and define treatment goals.
My approach relies on evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approaches tailored to your individual needs. Depending on your insurance situation, psychotherapy may be reimbursed by private health insurance, government employee health coverage (Beihilfe), or through the reimbursement procedure for publicly insured patients (Kostenerstattungsverfahren).
ADHD diagnostics involve a structured psychological assessment to evaluate whether symptoms meet the criteria for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adulthood.
The assessment typically includes a detailed clinical interview, standardized questionnaires, and an exploration of developmental history and current functioning. The goal is to clarify whether ADHD is present and to differentiate it from other conditions that may produce similar symptoms.
At the end of the assessment, you will receive feedback on the results and, if applicable, recommendations for treatment or further support. Fees depend on the scope of the diagnostic process and will be discussed in advance.
My work is guided by contemporary cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approaches and focuses on transforming felt reality and behavioral responses through imaginative, emotionally activating techniques.
This is particularly helpful if you rationally know how you “should” feel or act, but there is a divide between how you actually feel or behave. Imagery-based interventions involve re-experiencing situations from the past and present in a safe and structured way to gain deeper understanding, reprocess formative experiences, and practice new behavioral responses
Recommended for individuals seeking structured, practical support to change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. CBT focuses on identifying, questioning, and modifying thoughts and behaviors that uphold personal difficulties or symptoms.
Schema therapy is an integrative, emotion-focused extension of CBT that is particularly helpful for longstanding patterns that feel deeply rooted and difficult to change. Schemas are enduring emotional and cognitive „lenses" that develop early in life, and though wich we see, interpret and feel the world in a distorted manner. They often stem from biographical wounds, when core needs were massively unmet.
Strongly developed Schemas increase the intensity of so-called modes, which describe emotional states and behavioral responses that become activated in certain situations. By identifying and understanding these modes, Schema Therapy can reduce maladaptive patterns of feeling, thinking and coping while strengthening a stable, compassionate "Healthy Adult" mode.
IRRT is an imagery-based method designed to work with distressing memories and unresolved emotional experiences. Through guided imagery, past situations can be revisited and rescripted in a way that reduces emotional intensity, challenges deeply rooted negative beliefs, and fosters self-compassion and empowerment. This approach is particularly helpful when earlier experiences continue to shape present emotional reactions.
Recommended for individuals who want to develop concrete skills to manage intense emotions, particularly if they often feel overwhelmed. DBT teaches a dialectic perspective, that combines acceptance and change and builds behavioral habits for distress and emotion regulation.
