Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Jena, Germany

My practice is ideal for individuals looking for a culturally sensitive therapist while navigating mild to moderate emotional challenges—such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or difficulties in relationships. I also work with people experiencing identity shifts, parenting struggles, cross-cultural adjustment, and emotion regulation issues. Depending on your needs, I offer both intensive short-term and weekly long-term therapy.

My practice incorporates creativity and somatic work to create space for change and growth.

A warm welcome. I work with people from all backgrounds, across cultures and religions. The people I’ve met over the last three decades have influenced my way of working at least as much as my studies at university, in mystery schools and with alternative healing. I empower my clients to help themselves with practical wisdom for embodiment, so that transformation becomes a lasting, self-conducted process in daily life. Supporting inner stability and healthy navigation in this crazy world is as important to me as reflecting the truth of your spiritual being. I am known for good intuition, deep empathy and humour. My orientation in guiding you is through listening, listening to you and into the field of your life's situation. I will not fix you, simply because you do not need fixing. I will rather connect you with the possibilities of self-leadership and healing that are already in you. I discovered that healing follows facing and embracing what's in the depth of the inner shadow consciousness. Right from there, transformation happens from the darkness into the light, not by putting a pretend gloss over the dark spots. All the tools I use are in service of discovering, befriending and being exactly how you are. I invite you to embrace life as you are. Contact me risk free, I offer up to 25 mins free intake (video) call.

Jena is a Thuringian university city home to Friedrich Schiller University, one of Germany's historic research universities, and the birthplace of the Carl Zeiss optics company and SCHOTT AG—both still major local employers—giving the city a distinctive identity as both an elite academic and a high-technology industrial center that has navigated the profound economic transformation from East German planned economy to the unified Germany market economy. The psychological legacy of reunification—Ostalgie (nostalgia for the East), identity disruption, and the economic upheaval of the Wende—is present in the experiences of many older residents, while younger generations and international students bring a more globally oriented perspective. Mental health services are provided through public health structures, and a private therapy sector serves the university community and professional population. Common therapy concerns include identity and community belonging in a city navigating post-reunification change, student mental health at a demanding research university, anxiety, and the particular experiences of an East German city that has adapted more successfully than many of its neighbors but still carries the weight of transformation.
