Psychologist, Hypnotherapist & Somatic Coach
For Women Ready to Move Beyond Coping and Transform From the Inside Out
— Through a Mind and Body That Feels Safe
Stuck in your healing?
You may have tried countless practices, advice, or exercises — and yet the same patterns keep showing up. That’s not a sign of failure, but a sign that the deeper layers of your mind and nervous system haven’t been reached.
Together, we’ll work with approaches that speak to your whole system, so you can release what’s keeping you stuck and step into clarity, calm, and forward momentum.

Who I Am
I’m a Psychologist, Somatic Coach, and Hypnotherapist based in Berlin, supporting clients globally.
With a Master’s in Psychology and a lived journey of healing from early trauma, chronic fatigue, and complex mental health challenges, I know firsthand what it’s like to search for answers and tools that actually work.
In my twenties, I explored countless approaches before discovering practices that truly create deep, lasting change. Today, I integrate scientific expertise with somatic therapy, hypnotherapy, and intuitive energy work to access core issues — facilitating insight, clarity, and tangible transformation from the very first session.
Who I’ve Helped
I work with women who feel stuck in recurring patterns, overwhelm, or cycles of stress — often despite trying therapy, coaching, or self-help. Many come with:
Low self-esteem, self-abandonment, or deep shame
Anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or fear of abandonment
Relationship challenges or difficulty trusting themselves
Confidence or performance blocks at work
Procrastination, self-doubt, or uncertainty about identity and purpose
These patterns aren’t just “in your head.” They’re often rooted in the nervous system — the part of your body that learned to survive, stay alert, or protect you long before conscious thoughts could even process it.
"No talk therapy had ever come close to reaching that depth.“

FAQ
-
Somatic work is a body-centered approach to healing that helps you reconnect with your physical self, calm the nervous system, and release emotions stored in the body. Many of us live in a constant state of stress or disconnection — especially after burnout, trauma, or chronic illness.
In our sessions, I use gentle, accessible practices I’ve found deeply supportive in my own recovery from chronic fatigue. These include guided awareness and nervous system regulation techniques — all designed to help you feel safer, more grounded, and fully present in your body again.
-
Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process that guides you into a calm, focused state — similar to a daydream or deep relaxation. You’re fully aware and in control the entire time. From this state, we can gently access the subconscious mind — the part of you that holds deep-rooted beliefs, habits, and emotional patterns.
This isn’t about being “hypnotized” or losing control. It’s about creating the right conditions for insight, healing, and transformation. Through imagery, gentle suggestion, and inner exploration, we begin to shift what’s been keeping you stuck — so new perspectives and possibilities can emerge.
-
No — while I’m trained in psychology and bring a deep understanding of the mind to my work, what I offer is not traditional talk therapy. I work as a psychological coach, combining intuitive pattern recognition with somatic practices, hypnotherapy-inspired techniques, and energy work to support emotional healing and self-awareness.
This approach is more integrative and experiential than conventional therapy — it’s about tuning into both mind and body to create lasting shifts, rather than only talking things through.
Please note: This work is not a substitute for psychotherapy, psychiatric care, or medical treatment. If you’re in crisis or need clinical mental health support, I encourage you to seek help from a licensed mental health professional.
