About me


Born 1964 in Mannheim, Gemany I spent my childhood in Turkey, Afghanistan and Ghana and returned to

Germany in 1980. After finishing highschool I studied Psychology at the Universities of Mainz, Marburg and Berlin (all Germany).

From 1995 to 1998 I engaged in a training of Integrative Gestalt- and Bodytherapy at the TIB (Therapeutisches Institut Berlin).

From 2003 to 2006 I was trained to be a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner (Traumatherapist).


I have working experiences as Family and Case Manager, in drugs councelling as well as in teaching health management. My personal and professional life has provided me with firsthand experiences of caring for terminally ill and dying people which I have found to be enriching and valuable. Coping with stress and developing relaxation skills have also been topics of my interest. My spiritual searches have led me, among others, to exploring the many different kinds of meditation and the (buddhist) training of attentiveness.

I have been working as a self-employed therapist treating adult patients in my own practice since 1998. I moved from Berlin to Dresden in January 2006 and back to Berlin in November 2014. I possess the certificate necessary in Germany to engage in the art of healing (Heilerlaubnis nach dem Heilpraktikergesetz). If you wish to know more or would like to make an appointment (Initial session free of charge) you are welcome to send an email (see “Contact”).
