My professional path in therapy
For more than 15 years, I have worked therapeutically with people — in clinical settings, in an educational practice, at the Mainz Pain Center, and since 2016 in my own private practice. My diverse professional experience and further training shape my integrative approach, which combines deep understanding with a strong scientific foundation.
