Welcome to Lichtlinie
Perhaps you are here because your path can no longer continue as it has been. Perhaps you have reached a turning point that brings with it overwhelm, fear, anger or grief. Perhaps your legs have grown heavy after a long and challenging stretch of road. Perhaps you are standing at a crossroads, not knowing which turning is the right one and which leads into yet another dead end. Perhaps you feel stuck under the weight of worries, doubts or fear of the next step. Perhaps you are wondering how you might find hope, confidence or trust again.
There are so many reasons why we arrive at a point that brings with it the wish for change — and at which we sense that it is easier with support. Perhaps because we simply do not know how to go on, because the task ahead seems too heavy, or the current situation too difficult to see clearly. Or perhaps when the inner emotional world feels overwhelmingly intense or paralysing.
Wherever you find yourself on your very own life path right now — I am glad to welcome you here. Take your time to look around. And if it speaks to you, I would be happy to walk alongside you for a stretch of the way ahead, towards greater clarity, security and a sense of direction.
Not everything that shapes us is immediately visible.
I believe that change begins where we are ready to look, with compassion rather than harshness.
So much of what we carry lies quietly within us: experiences, memories, old wounds, unspoken feelings or patterns that have formed over many years. All of this often works unnoticed on our lives, shaping how we feel, think, love and relate to ourselves. Sometimes it shows up in relationships, in fears, in over-adaptation, overwhelm, or the feeling of always arriving at the same points in life. Sometimes we only sense that something is no longer quite right, without being able to name exactly what.
Every person carries a red thread within them: a wholly unique line made of experiences, longings, strengths, fractures and growth. The work of counselling and therapy is to gently make this thread visible and reconnect its parts: from the unconscious into awareness, from darkness into light, from heaviness towards greater ease. Out of doubt, clarity may emerge. From constraint, inner freedom.
I walk alongside adults, children and young people in challenging life phases. A particular focus lies in working with the inner child, family themes and understanding transgenerational patterns, all that is often passed down through generations and shapes our experience today.
In a protected space, what has perhaps not yet had room to be seen may finally become visible.
Not only what weighs us down, but also what strengthens us and wishes to grow. Always oriented towards coming closer to oneself, to one's own hopes, values and goals, so as to find a genuine connection to oneself and to others.
Step by step, more freedom emerges, the freedom to choose consciously, to take new paths, and to shape one's own life in alignment with one's personal nature and sense of meaning.
Your own Lichtlinie, line of light, begins where you start to return to yourself.
About Me
I walk alongside people in understanding their story with compassion and appreciation, meeting themselves more deeply, and shaping their own path through life more consciously, freely, and in alignment with their nature.
„Every story deserves to be heard and viewed with compassion and appreciation."
Respect, openness, and the trust that every behaviour has a good reason, understandable within the context of social relationships and individual life history, form the foundation of my work.
My therapeutic work combines systemic counselling and therapy with imaginative methods and inner child work. Always with the goal of recognising connections and developing new possibilities: more inner freedom, more self-connection, more genuine choices in one's own life.
Because in the past we often had no choice. Today we do. Getting there is a process: it means recognising what truly fits us and letting go, from within, of what blocks us.
Through years of work at a specialist counselling centre for sexual violence against children and young people, I work with a trauma-sensitive approach and a deep understanding of complex human experience. This work has sharpened my eye not only for deeply hidden wounds, but also for the enormous strength, resilience, and dignity that people can develop even under the most difficult conditions.

My Approach
My work is grounded in a systemic, resource-oriented, and trauma-sensitive perspective. I combine present- and solution-focused approaches with a deeper look at the traces our life story has left.
We all carry within us the resources for growth and change. Sometimes a protected space and a process of sorting together is all that is needed to rediscover them and strengthen access to one's own inner wisdom, strength, and intuition.
I never view a topic in isolation; I always consider the relationships and contexts in which everyday life takes place, as well as the experiences that have shaped how we see ourselves and the world over the course of our lives.
A key focus is work with the inner child and depth-psychology-based imaginative methods. Our experiences are stored not only in thoughts, but also in feelings, bodily sensations, and inner images. Imaginative methods open access to these deeper levels of experience, allowing new experiences to emerge that often go far beyond what is possible through reflection and conversation alone. The symbolic language of these methods helps initiate deep change and develop new inner possibilities.
A further focus of my work lies on transgenerational patterns, family imprints, and conscious parenthood. This means accompanying people in breaking old cycles that may have burdened individual and family life across many generations. Acknowledging what has shaped us, while letting go, with appreciation and clarity, of what is no longer helpful or true, opens new space for growth.
The choice of methods always follows the person sitting across from me, because every path is individual. The focus is not on deficits or diagnoses, but on the whole person, with all their experiences, relationships, needs, strengths, and possibilities for growth.
