Fachpsychologin für Psychotherapie FSP
Specialisation
Convinced that everyone has the inner ability to cope, I help my patients find and tap into their own resources.
Illness not only changes our way of thinking, but also our behaviour. Hence, a depressed person may think she is worthless, and end up isolating herself, or refusing a promotion because she feels unable to perform. My clinical work has shown me that there are ways to break this vicious cycle.
From my experience in end-of-life care, I realised that it is never too late to change, that the ability to question ourselves and evolve remains with us until our last breath.
Thanks to these experiences, I guide my patients along their own paths. In addition to my basic training in cognitive and behavioural therapies, I use several valuable therapeutic tools. These different approaches allow me to treat various psychological disorders, such as depression and anxiety, OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder), BDD (body dysmorphic disorder), ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), different types of dependence, burnout, or trauma. I can also help you deal with challenging events (failure, bereavement, separation, physical illness), emotional difficulties, or hardship in your studies/professional activities.
