I’m a social worker / psychotherapist with degrees from England and Canada (BSW, MSW), a traumatherapist (Somatic Experiencing) and work in private practice as “Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie” in Dresden, Germany where I currently live.
I am also a Registered Social Worker in Ontario, Canada and maintain an online practice for current and new clients across Ontario.
I describe my therapeutic approach as person-centered and somatic.
As a person-centered therapist, I see you as an expert in your own life experiences. It is always my intention to offer a space filled with the conditions that are needed to move a step further in the healing process. During this process, it is important for me to remember that a safe space is never a given – and always relative – and that trust needs to be developed over time.
As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I know that there are not always words for our experiences. Traumatic memories locked in the body can be resolved if the body – the autonomic nervous system – is included in the therapeutic process.
I provide sessions in my own space at Görlitzer Straße 36 in Dresden and also have a virtual offer for clients who are not in Dresden or who prefer to meet online.
