About me

I am a specialist in dermatology from Munich and mother of two sons. During my work as a dermatologist, I have repeatedly observed that skin and psyche are inseparably connected, which led me to acquire more competence in the fields of psychology and psychosomatics. This was essential for me to adequately address the psychological aspects of skin diseases and to build the necessary bridge between the mere physical aspect of skin disorders and their psychical component. In the recent years, I had various trainings in mindfulness based techniques, in positive psychology, psychodermatology, autogenic training, and in 2021 I started the studies for the additional medical qualification in psychotherapy. Since May 2024, I am proud to offer my psychodermatological private consultation in the premises of „Psychologists Munich“ in the heart of Munich. 

What is Psychodermatology and who is the right patient?

If you have noticed or suspect that your skin condition is influenced by your mood/feelings or vice versa, my consultation is the right place for you. This also applies if no physical causes for your skind disorder have been found so far and if no treatment could help you in the long run. Together we will explore possible psychological trigger factors underlying your condition, bring them to consciousness and change them in an individually tailored therapy. With various relaxation techniques that can be easily integrated into everyday life (such as autogenic training or different mindfulness-based techniques), I will additionally show you how to sustainably enhance your well-being and quality of every day-life, helping you to feel comfortable in your skin once again. 
A similar treatment approach can be found in the Mind-Body Medicine, which originated in the USA and views the body, mind, and soul as an inseparable unit, opposing the purely mechanistic understanding of our bodies. This perspective is meanwhile supported by many psychoneuroimmunological studies. 
Personally, I have also made very good experiences with certain essential oils regarding skin, psyche, and general health, which is why aromatherapy can be incorporated into the treatment upon your request. I look forward to accompanying you on your journey to yourself!
