Dance therapy & Gestalt therapy

In psychotherapy, a long-term examination of oneself, one's own biography, relationship experiences and one's own patterns takes place.

Dance therapy and Gestalt therapy are suitable for all people who are looking for psychotherapeutic accompaniment where body wisdom is integrated in coping with conflicts and self-development, where "something moves and is shaped" and not just spoken.Both forms of therapy are artistic and body-oriented psychotherapies and are based on the principle of the unity and interaction of physical, emotional, cognitive and social processes.

Through movement, the unconscious can become conscious, the unsaid can become visible and the soul can be expressed. A holistic integration of longings, needs, fears, emotional states and early experiences can take place in the "here and now". The aim is to support people's self-efficacy and self-determination.

Dance therapy and Gestalt therapy enable a new way of establishing contact and perception with oneself and the whole environment.

Dance therapy integrates dance, all forms of movement and tools for movement analysis(Kestenberg Movement Profile) to explore psychological issues that reveal themselves in movement.

Gestalt therapy integrates various experiments and creative forms of expression to shape experiences. Along with psychoanalysis and behavioural therapy, Gestalt therapy is one of the most widely used psychotherapeutic methods.

In the sense of the sentence "The human being becomes the I through the you", I offer clients as a therapist an authentic and holistic counterpart in a safe, holding space. In this space, conflicts can come to the surface and new healing relationship experiences can be made. The success of a therapy is particularly linked to the motivation for change, the assumption of self-responsibility and the therapeutic relationship.

Focal points and experiences:

  • Search for meaning and identity

  • Self-esteem problems

  • Relationship problems

  • Stress/ burn-out syndrome

  • Sadness and listlessness, depression

  • Body image and eating disorders (if weight is not dangerous)

  • Anxiety

  • Somatoform disorders

  • High sensitivity

  • Developmental trauma/attachment trauma

  • It is always necessary to clarify with a doctor that any symptoms that occur do not have an organic cause before psychotherapy with me can begin.

About me


To understand life in all its facets, faces and dimensions is my insatiable drive. Every life is a wonderful world of its own that is worth discovering. Working with body wisdom in therapy means peace work for me. My vision is that all people can attain inner peace and thus live peacefully with each other. Feeling connected and empowered at the same time is necessary for this.

Dance therapy was the starting point of my clinical-therapeutic experience. I worked as a dance therapist, group therapist and social pedagogue in a psychiatric clinic in Berlin from 2016-2022. In parallel, I worked as a dance therapist in a therapeutic residential group for young women. The experiences in the help systems shaped my way of working and I developed a deep understanding of the psychodynamics of mental illness and defence mechanisms. At the same time, I couldn't let go of the question of what holistic healing processes still mean for me, where the spiritual gets more space. This is reflected in my rooms and the services I offer.
