Hey there! Great to see you.
I'm a licensed psychotherapist, author and speaker based in Wuppertal, Germany. My CV is a colourful mix of topics – from body-oriented psychotherapy to space psychology, where I support analog astronauts on simulated Mars and Moon missions.

#Movement & body: Bouldering, swimming, dancing, martial arts, hiking or yoga – I like it lively. That's why my therapeutic work is body-oriented: just sitting still is boring. I wrote a professional handbook about it.
#Space: I work as a team psychologist for crews in extreme environments. We simulate what it would be like to live on Mars or the Moon, and I make sure everyone stays mentally healthy – not easy when the crew is stuck in a desert and I'm sitting at my laptop in Wuppertal. Sounds crazy? Not really: many of those findings translate directly to everyday life. That's what my book “Mission Fühlen” is about.
#Therapy: In my practice I combine cognitive behavioural therapy with body-oriented methods. My clinical focus: movement-based therapy, ADHD and trauma. Sessions are available in English and German – in person or online.
#Stage: For more than ten years I've been giving talks and workshops, from science festivals to corporate events – in German and English.
