Already during my school years, I had a desire to study psychology. However, life initially led me in a different direction—into the film industry. This decision allowed me to travel the world and work with people from diverse cultures, social backgrounds, and hierarchical levels. During this time, I gained valuable experience in managing conflicts that arise when different perspectives and backgrounds intersect. As a producer, my role was to harmonize all these perspectives and bring them into alignment.
With this expertise, I co-founded and led two internationally successful companies in the advertising and film industry over the past ten years.
In 2016, I became a mother and began to delve more deeply into my own story and the patterns that have shaped me. This exploration led me back to my original interest in psychology.
I decided to start a four-year training program as an experiential couples and family therapist at the German-Danish Institute for Family Therapy (DDIF). This training, which I am now expanding with further studies in systemic therapy, has fundamentally changed my way of thinking.
For a long time, I believed that people were trapped in their behavioral patterns and that it is almost impossible to change. However, through the DDIF’s experiential approach, I learned that change is possible. I experienced firsthand how therapeutic work can break through destructive behavioral patterns, overcome separations and enable connections. I have internalized that today, unlike in childhood, I have a choice.
In my work, I place great value on openness, appreciation, and respect. I provide an unbiased space—it's never about judgment or condemnation, but about allowing everything to be as it is.
