Perhaps your child seems insecure, feels lonely, or is increasingly withdrawing. Perhaps intense feelings like anger, frustration, or jealousy are overwhelming them. Family conflicts may be escalating and feel stuck. Or perhaps you simply want to strengthen your connection with your child and support them in moving through life with greater confidence, composure, and inner strength. Together, we will find ways to create a daily life that meets both your child's needs and your own – grounded in mutual understanding and appreciative relationships.

My Approach

I accompany people primarily from a systemic perspective. This approach helps us understand how much social systems – such as family, school, peer groups, and cultural environments – shape our thinking, feeling, and behavior. At the same time, the systemic perspective supports greater awareness of our own needs and helps us regain more security in life.

Working with children is fundamentally different from working with adults. Children rarely choose counseling for themselves and often cannot yet put their experiences into words. To give them a safe, playful access to their emotional world, I combine methods from various therapeutic approaches. This creates holistic, integrative counseling for children and adolescents.

In working with your child, I frequently use creative forms of expression such as painting, free play, or self-invented stories. This allows us to gently make inner conflicts visible and work through them together. At the same time, your child's self-confidence, communication skills, and emotional resilience grow through this process.

Since the most important key to a child's wellbeing lies within their family, close collaboration with you as parents is particularly important to me. I want to provide you with support and guidance throughout the counseling process, so that you can be a reliable and strengthening anchor for your child.

Note about my practice: As a therapeutically trained counselor, my focus is on prevention and supporting families in crisis. My services constitute life counseling only and are not intended for the treatment or alleviation of mental illnesses or disorders (not the practice of medical treatment).
