Licensed Psychotherapist (HPP)|Munich

Welcome – with everything that moves you

In my psychotherapy practice in Munich, licensed under the German Heilpraktikergesetz, I support individuals in leadership roles, during personal transitions, or when facing private challenges. My approach is grounded, attentive, and always discreet.

I also partner with companies to develop tailored programs that provide employees with a confidential space for inner reflection, personal growth, and emotional resilience.

By combining professional leadership experience with openness, empathy, deep respect, and a profound acceptance of human complexity, I create a supportive environment for meaningful change.

Certified Forest Health Expert | Forest Therapy

Being in the Forest – finding health and harmony in nature

My passion for the healing power of the forest began in 2015 with a simple question: Is spending time in the forest just a trend—or a genuine health concept, a true path to well-being? The profound effects on body, mind, and soul deeply moved me and led me to explore the research and practice of Shinrin Yoku and forest therapy.

My insight: Being in the forest is more than just relaxation — it’s a form of “medicine” that nourishes us and grows stronger the more we connect with it.

Let’s explore the healing power of the forest together—personally or with the support of my IM-WALD-SEIN® Toolbox for a naturally healthy life.
