Therapy begins
with a genuine
encounter.

Licensure (Approbation) is the state license to practice psychotherapy independently in Germany, granted after several years of postgraduate training and passing the state examination. With a specialisation in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), I work on the basis of scientifically proven, guideline-compliant methods. For you, this means verified professional qualifications, confidentiality under Section 203 of the German Criminal Code (StGB), and the reassurance of receiving treatment in a regulated medical practice — whether as a self-paying or privately insured patient in Munich.

I completed my multi-year specialist psychotherapeutic training at the Kölner Lehrinstitut für Verhaltenstherapie (AWKV) — a state-recognised training institute with high clinical and scientific standards. The training comprised over 4,200 hours of theory, self-reflection, supervision, and clinical practice. I work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as well as modern third-wave approaches such as Schema Therapy and ACT — evidence-based methods for depression, anxiety disorders, burnout, and stress reactions.

I completed my Diplom degree in psychology at the University of Cologne — specialising in clinical psychology, diagnostics, and neuropsychology. The Diplom degree is equivalent to a modern Master's degree and provides the scientific foundation for all responsible psychotherapeutic work. In practice, this means I understand psychological processes not only clinically, but can also interpret research findings, apply differential diagnostics, and offer you precise, tailored support — whether you are dealing with acute distress, long-standing patterns, or personal development.

Through several years of inpatient and day-clinic practice as a ward psychologist, I have supported patients across the full spectrum of psychological disorders — from severe depression and anxiety disorders to post-traumatic stress disorders, personality disorders, and crisis intervention. This clinical depth sets an experienced psychotherapist apart from one trained purely in outpatient settings: you receive treatment that remains safe, calm, and methodologically sound even in complex cases, comorbidities, or acute crises.

As a psychotherapist in private practice, I have worked in outpatient settings for many years — initially at the university clinic and in established practices in Cologne and Hamburg, and today in my own private practice in Munich. My clients include adults, couples, and executives seeking discreet, high-quality, and scheduling-flexible psychotherapy — often as self-paying or privately insured patients. Short waiting times, unhurried sessions, and a confidential environment in the heart of Munich provide a distinct alternative to overstretched standard healthcare.

As a research associate at the Max Planck Institute and in a managerial position at the German Research Foundation (DFG), I spent years working at the intersection of research, science policy, and clinical practice. I bring this perspective to every treatment: up-to-date research, evidence-based methods, and a critical understanding of what truly works in psychotherapy. You benefit from a therapist who does not rely on dogmatic approaches, but thinks methodically, stays current, and grounds her practice in science.

I advise a German start-up at the intersection of psychology and AI, focusing on the real-time analysis of human communication — speech, voice, non-verbal signals. This work sharpens my understanding of what is unconsciously transmitted and received during conversations, directly informing my coaching and couples therapy practice. For executives, leaders, and couples, this offers a deeper, more precise insight into communicative patterns — moving beyond gut instinct, backed by current psychological and technological research.

I offer psychotherapy, coaching, and counselling fluently in four languages: German, English, Lithuanian, and Russian. For international clients, expats in Munich, diplomats, and global executives, speaking in one's native language is often the key to true emotional depth.
