About myself

I am a state-certified alternative practitioner for psychotherapy ("Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie"), but my professional journey began over 25 years ago in the field of education. As a teacher at a high school in Tübingen, as well as a teacher trainer and lecturer at the seminar and university in Tübingen, I have gained valuable experience in working with people from diverse backgrounds and life situations. My extensive work as a consultant has provided me with deeper insights into the challenges and needs of individuals of all ages.

​

With the decision to expand my focus to therapeutic support, I am following my passion for understanding human behavior and assisting others during difficult life phases. I firmly believe that everyone has the potential to create positive changes in their lives, and I am here to accompany you on that journey.

​

I completed my training as an alternative practitioner for psychotherapy at the Psychotherapy Academy in Reutlingen, where I gained comprehensive knowledge in various therapeutic methods, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, talk therapy, and hypnotherapy. This diverse training allows me to tailor my approach to meet your individual needs and develop suitable therapy plans.

 

I possess strong English language skills, developed through my university studies in English and my two years of work at the University of Washington in Seattle, USA. Currently, I work as an English teacher and trainer for English teachers, where speaking English is an integral part of my profession.

The room

​​

My practice is located on the first floor of a former art gallery on Uhlandstraße in Tübingen, just a short distance from the Neckarbrücke. The main train station and bus station are only a 2-3 minute walk away.

​

We can go to the nearby Planetenallee if you prefer to have conversations while taking a walk.

​

Parking is available at the Neckarparkhaus on Wöhrdstraße, in the Tiefgarage Hauptbahnhofat at Europaplatz, or on Uhlandstraße.

Reimbursement

​

In my private practice, I cannot bill costs to private or statutory health insurance. If you are privately insured, please check with your health insurance provider to see if and to what extent you can receive reimbursement for costs. The fee is to be paid in full, regardless of any reimbursements from your health insurance or allowances.

​

As a self-payer, you have several advantages:

​

• Immediate start of therapy without waiting times.

• Flexible appointment scheduling, including evenings and Saturdays.

• No entry in your health insurance patient record, which can be beneficial when switching to a private health insurance.

• Free choice of therapist and treatment method.

• Therapy costs not covered by health insurance are considered "extraordinary burdens" for tax purposes and can generally be deducted from taxes above a certain amount.
