I am a psychologist, sports psychologist & psychotherapist in training under supervision.


Through my own years of experience in competitive sports, I got to know the world of top-class sports in all its facets. During my active time, I took advantage of mental training myself and felt how great this effect was on my performance and well-being. I learned how mental attitude influences my thoughts, feelings and actions and determines success or failure.

Finally, mental training also supported me - Ending my sporting career and setting new goals!

As a sports psychologist, I support you in improving your own mental strength and am also happy to pass on my own “lessons learned”!
