About Me
Biographical Information
I grew up in a rural region of Thuringia and still feel a strong connection to its people, local cuisine, and landscape. At the same time, I am fascinated by life in other countries, which is why I regularly spend time abroad and feel personally enriched by different cultures.
I originally trained in a commercial profession, which did not truly fulfil me. A period abroad inspired me to study psychology, and since graduating I have been working in psychological counselling, with a particular affinity for systemic and psychodynamic approaches. I enjoy engaging with current social issues, exchanging ideas with colleagues on a regular basis, and pursuing ongoing professional training.
Since 2011 I have been living in this beautiful city on the Elbe.
