“Consider all difficulties as opportunities to create something new, to learn and to grow from the creative way you respond.”
(Virginia Satir – Family Therapist)

Throughout our lives, we all experience that joyful moments, periods of stability and positive emotions can be gradually or suddenly replaced by obstacles, demands, fears or crises.

Life does not follow a linear path. We encounter fluctuations, hurdles, challenges or seemingly insurmountable life crises as individuals, as a couple or as a family. The perspective that every difficulty carries a growth opportunity, is the foundation of my approach in systemic therapeutic work with you.

Systemic therapy and family therapy broaden the psychotherapeutic perspective to include systems, such as the family system. In this context, the focus is not only on the individual or their symptoms, but also on the environment in which they live.

Systemic therapy is a therapeutic approach that does not primarily focus on treating diagnoses. Instead, it provides a framework to accompany life crises, particularly serious family issues or critical life transitions.

Systemic therapy allows us to explore patterns and dynamics in behavior, experience and communication that have developed over time. We seek the underlying purpose of these developments: every experience and behavior has meaning and often represents an attempt, sometimes counterproductive, to find a solution to a difficult life situation.

I invite you, your partner or your family to look together at challenges and, even more importantly, at your resources. I operate from the perspective that you are the expert in your own life. I am happy to support you in discovering or reactivating your self-help potentials and strengths. Through various systemic interventions, we can shift the focus from problems toward perspectives and possibilities for change.

With sensitivity, humor and ease, I look forward to accompanying you on your journey. I approach you with impartiality, neutrality and respect. It is important to me that you feel safe to discuss your issues in a confidential setting under the protection of privacy. My approach is to invite you to open, non-judgmental and unrestricted collaboration in which I see myself as a guest in your life and your experiences.

Together, we define the framework, including the time frame, of the therapy. Our approach is guided by your needs and possibilities.
