TREATMENT OPTIONS
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is one way to promote mental health and general well-being. Psychotherapeutic sessions offer a safe space for self-exploration to deepen your understanding of your patterns, explore the origins, function and management of your symptoms, and become more aware of your needs, values, and strengths.
As a specialist for cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I believe that learning from experience drives change. Our mental, emotional, physical and behavioral patterns are created through learning, often during childhood development. Reactualizing and new, corrective experiences allow us to understand and change these patterns. That's why, in addition to psychotherapeutic conversations, a CBT often includes guided exercises such as exposures, imagery, role plays or exercises, in order to regulate the nervous system. These methods enable learning, make coping tangible and encourage to transfer changes to everyday life. CBT has proven to be effective for a variety of psychological problems and is therefore one of the 4 guideline procedures in Germany that are financed by all health insurance companies.

I offer individual treatments and psychotherapy in group settings. Individual sessions allow for maximum focus on your individual needs, while the group setting provides a richer opportunity to explore and resolve fears and difficulties in relationships. You can find more detailed information about starting psychotherapy here.
Groups and Skilltrainings
I offer psychotherapeutic groups and skill trainings. Skill training groups are usually focussed on a certain topic, for example regulating emotions or enhancement of social skills. Other psychotherapeutic groups are more open. Please contact me for information about the current group offers.

The group setting is a great opportunity to experience and resolve themes that occur in the relation to others and that effect the ability to establish satisfying connections. Groups illuminate our vulnerabilities, fears, and strengths in relationships. Psychotherapeutic groups offer a safe environment to explore and practice new interaction styles in a playful way. When a group comes together in an understanding, non-judgmental, supportive manner, it can be of great help in correcting wounds from neglectful and abusive relationships.
Integration
In coaching sessions, I offer support regarding the integration of psychedelic experiences. This active approach to integration aims to maximize the transformational power of a psychedelic experience. Additionally, as a form of harm reduction, it can ease the integration of very challenging psychedelic experiences and reduce harmful processes.

This coaching gives space to express your experiences and explore their meaning in relation to your intention, your life story, and your current life situation. In this work I will support you to create meaning and connection to your life. This coaching can initiate and implement change in your life.
The integration phase is a sensitive passage. I was studying in scientific (assisting neuro-science, work as a psychotherapist, preparing, guiding and integrating Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy) and traditional settings (studying indigenous traditions in the Peruvian and Brazilian amazon). Because of my mixed background, you can be sure that I will guide you with sensitivity and openness in my integration sessions. As a psychotherapist I bring a wide range of skills to my sessions and can support dealing with (post traumatic) stress, emotional states or psychological crisis.
