About
Welcome!
I became a couple and sexual therapist because I deeply believe that the quality of our relationships forms the foundation for our personal well-being and happiness. In a world often shaped by uncertainty and changing social norms, I want to help people better understand their emotional and sexual needs and create healthy, fulfilling relationships.
I see my role as creating a space where couples and individuals can address their fears, desires, and vulnerabilities in order to find new ways to experience closeness and intimacy.
Born in 1981, I have been living with my family in Düsseldorf since 2018. Prior to that, I spent 16 years in Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Singapore, where I was deeply involved in the expat community. During this time, I had the privilege of supporting parents and families from over 50 nationalities in navigating their daily lives in foreign cultures and overcoming the challenges of multilingualism as a couple and with children. These experiences not only deepened my understanding and respect for intercultural diversity but also provided me with valuable insights into various relationships and family systems. This knowledge greatly benefits me in my work as a therapist.
I had the great fortune of completing my education and further training with internationally renowned couples, sexual, and psychotherapists.

How I support you
In my work, I take a holistic approach, incorporating the body, mind, and soul.
​
My foundational perspective is based on systemic thinking. This means that I view behavior in the context of interactions within the system, i.e., the world around us.
I believe that every situation can be changed, and that the solutions (because there is always more than one) are already within us. Helping to make them visible is how I see my role!
​
My consultations are characterized by precise questioning, knowledge sharing, relaxation techniques, and the introduction of physical exercises to be practiced at home.
