About me

My Path

​

Meeting people and learning about their very different life stories has had a profound influence on my professional path. As a psychologist, behavioural therapist and mediator, I support people during periods in which many things may feel uncertain, overwhelming or in transition.

​

In our work together, I see time and again how important a trusting setting is—one in which doubts, vulnerability and new perspectives all have their place. The experiences that emerge from this work continue to make my profession meaningful, engaging and rewarding every day.

​

My Approach to Psychotherapy & Coaching

​

Every person brings their own history, experiences, strengths and challenges. I therefore understand psychotherapy as an individual process that is tailored to your personal circumstances.

​

For me, psychotherapy and coaching are primarily about supporting people in reconnecting with their own abilities and possibilities. The focus is not only on gaining new knowledge, but above all on developing a different understanding: a new perspective on oneself, one’s personal history and the resources that are already available.

​

This can help you view yourself and your situation differently. In this way, it is possible not only to manage current pressures or crises, but also to face future challenges with greater inner confidence and stability.

​

My Background

​

Having grown up bilingually and received an international education, I have had the privilege of learning several of the therapeutic approaches I use directly from their founders and leading developers. For example, I have further developed my knowledge of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Dr Steven C. Hayes and Dr Russ Harris, and of Motivational Interviewing with William R. Miller and Stephen Rollnick.

​

Ongoing professional development and close engagement with current research are a matter of course for me, enabling me to support you in line with the latest professional standards.

​

I have more than twenty years of professional experience in a highly performance-oriented, demanding and dynamic organisation. I therefore know the particular demands of such environments from first-hand experience.

​

The name Viaccordis is derived from Latin: via means „path“, while accordis stands for “harmonising” or “bringing into alignment”. Viaccordis refers to a path towards more harmonious relationships—with oneself, with others or within a wider system. This idea forms the foundation of my work with clients.

​

I also volunteer as a psychologist with krisenchat. krisenchat is a psychosocial chat-based counselling service for children, adolescents and young people up to the age of 25 who are experiencing hardship, crisis or exceptional circumstances.

​

I run a small practice in Friedberg and additionally work with clients across Germany and online.
