Services
Psychotherapy and Psychological Counseling
Based on years of experience I’m offering psychotherapy treatment for psychological disorders such as burn out syndrome, depression or anxiety disorder e.g. panic attacks, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, OCD or post-traumatic stress disorder.
In addition, I also provide psychological support and counseling services for a variety of problems which by definition aren’t considered a psychological disorder. In such cases, common psychotherapeutic treatment strategies along with my professional support, can help affected individuals to cope with common life challenges such as; problems at school, at work, crisis in life, motivational problems.
After a detailed diagnostic assessment, the treatment will focus on understanding the origins and the development of the disorder. Different exercises and techniques will be used to implement emotional, behavioral and cognitive changes. Thereby, I’ll permanently focus on your individual goals and needs providing you the compass of change towards new perspectives.

Self-experience and Supervision
Are you currently in training to become a psychotherapist and still looking for the right self-experience therapist?
Or do you want to better understand yourself and reflect on your own issues?
Self-experience is tailored to your individual needs and goals. On one hand, self-experience helps to recognize, reflect on, and change one's own patterns and blind spots. On the other hand, self-experience also leads to gaining a different perspective and promotes empathy and compassion for our own patients or with our fellow human beings.
​
I now also offer supervision for (future) psychotherapists. I work individually based on your goals and needs with methods of CBT and mindfulness- and compassion-based approaches.
About me
Career
​
After my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy at the University of Basel (M.Sc., 2009), I spent some time abroad as a research assistant at the University of California Irvine (UCI), USA. The UCI Health, Development, and Disease Research Program addressed the interface between biological, behavioral, and social processes in human pregnancy, on fetal, newborn, infant and child developmental and health outcomes.
Upon my return to Switzerland (2010) I started my doctoral studies and got engaged in the psychotherapy training. During this time, I worked as a post graduate psychologist at the Cognitive Behavioral Unit at the University Psychiatric Clinics in Basel (2010-2013).
I received bot my PhD (2014) and the Master of advanced studies in psychotherapy (2015) from the University of Basel.
I worked in a joint practice in Basel from 2013 until fall 2019.
In September 2019, I started my own practice in the heart of Basel at Spalenberg. In December 2022, I relocated my practice to Martinskirchplatz and joined my colleagues from Praxisgemeinschaft Martinskirchplatz.
