Meeting people with openness and curiosity – that's my strength and my passion

As a systemic counsellor and coach, I support individuals and couples in finding their own path through the often challenging time of their fertility journey – with clarity, self-determination, and in dialogue with themselves and those around them. I work in a resource-oriented, respectful way and with a focus on relationships, roles, and biographical influences. My approach is characterised by openness and curiosity for individual life situations.

My background as a social anthropologist gives me a broad, non-judgemental perspective on complex life realities, value systems, and family forms. In the sensitive field of the unfulfilled desire to have children, I bringe a nuanced approach to diversity.

What motivates me in my work is empowering people during difficult phases of their lives — by listening, accompanying them, and developing new perspectives together.
