Coaching, Professional Relationships & Systems

In professional contexts, patterns similar to those found in private relationships often emerge: questions of responsibility, belonging, power, loyalty and communication. Conflicts rarely arise in isolation, but rather through the interplay of roles, expectations and organizational structures.

I accompany individuals and teams in reflecting on and clarifying professional relationships and dynamics – particularly in challenging situations, during conflicts, transitional phases, or when collaboration feels stuck. The focus lies on understanding connections and fostering orientation and the capacity to act within the respective system.

My work combines systemic and experiential approaches with many years of experience in the professional and corporate world. This allows me to hold both individual perspectives and the dynamics of the wider organizational context in view.

I work, among others, with:

• individuals navigating professional relationship conflicts or inner fields of tension

• leaders and teams dealing with role ambiguity, responsibility or decision-making processes

• leadership groups seeking to address conflict, tension or ruptures in a constructive way

‍• teams navigating periods of transition, reorganization or changing roles

‍My work is always tailored to the specific context and questions at hand, and responds to the dynamics of the respective system.

ABOUT ME

Even during my school years, I knew I wanted to study psychology. Life initially led me in a different direction – into the film industry. This path allowed me to work internationally with people from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, social contexts and hierarchical structures. During this time, I learned to navigate complex dynamics, mediate conflicts and hold clarity in demanding situations. As a producer, my role was to bring together diverse perspectives and develop solutions that could hold under pressure.

Building on this experience, I co-founded and led two internationally successful companies in the advertising and film industry over a period of more than ten years.

In 2016, I became a mother. With this transition, my attention increasingly turned inward. I began to engage more deeply with my own history, inherited patterns and questions that had accompanied me since early on. This personal process brought me back to my original interest: understanding people and relationships.

I completed a four-year training in experienced orientated and emotion focussed  couple and family therapy at the German-Danish Institute for Family Therapy (DDIF). I subsequently deepened my work through advanced training in systemic therapy, which is currently in its final phase. I am also a licensed psychotherapist under the German Heilpraktikergesetz (HPG).

The experiential approach fundamentally changed my perspective. For a long time, I believed that people remained largely bound to their patterns and that fear or emotional pain were difficult to transform. Today, I know that change is possible. Through both personal experience and professional work, I have seen how mindful therapeutic processes can soften old imprints, allow separation to be integrated, and make new forms of connection possible. Above all, I have come to understand that, unlike in childhood, we have choices as adults.

In my work, I value clarity, openness and genuine respect. I offer a space free from judgment, where what is present is allowed to emerge. My aim is to provide stability, orientation and a resonant therapeutic framework in which development can unfold.

I work in my private practice in Berlin-Mitte and am also active as a family therapist at the Family Centre Weißensee.
