My professional journey began in occupational therapy. From an early stage in my career, I had the opportunity to support people living with special needs, mental health challenges, and complex life circumstances. During this time, I became a founding member of the Systemisches Institut Mittelsachsen — an institute that continues to support processes of growth and change to this day.

Studying Social Work deepened and broadened my perspective. This was followed by several years working in child and youth welfare, community-based mental health care, and a variety of counselling settings. These experiences taught me just how multifaceted people’s lives can be — and how important it is to observe carefully rather than draw conclusions too quickly.

A second, equally important path led me towards the body. I completed my yoga teacher training in South India, and yoga and Vipassana have remained an integral part of my life ever since. They have brought greater stillness, clarity, and depth to my work.

Through further training in Trauma Integration and a Master’s degree in Social Work, specialising in leadership, planning, and research, my perspective expanded to include broader contexts. Organisations, systems, and the question of how supportive and sustainable spaces can be created increasingly became central to my work.

My systemic training brought these different paths together. Today, I combine systemic perspectives with body-oriented therapeutic approaches and a trauma-sensitive practice. I am currently training to become a teaching therapist.

I support individuals, couples, families, and teams through processes of change — with clarity, calmness, and genuine care. Structure offers stability, while gentle humour is welcome. At the heart of my work lies the trust that every person already carries resources within them that can unfold.

Every living system holds potential that is often simply waiting to be seen. I see my role as creating and holding spaces in which that can happen.
