Dance and movement therapy is a form of psychotherapy that consciously integrates the body into the therapeutic process.

We explore not only what you think and feel but also how your lived experience manifests in your body.

My work is grounded in psychodynamic theories. Movement, breathing, and body awareness help us become more present, improve your self-perception, and discover new ways of dealing with emotions, internal attitudes, and relationship patterns.

It is not about doing anything "right." It is about observing with curiosity what is happening within you—and allowing new possibilities to emerge from that, step by step.

 

The body as a gateway

Feelings,thoughts, and relationship experiences also manifest in our bodies—for instance, in our posture, breathing, movement, tension, or rhythm.

In dance and movement therapy, we use these bodily experiences as a gateway to your inner world. Through movement, breath, and body awareness, you can gather information about yourself, discover connections, and gain new experiences.

 

What can come to light?

We carry much of our personal history with us. Early relationship experiences can influence how we perceive ourselves, others, and the world around us. Our personal disposition, our environment, and later experiences also play a role.

Sometimes, this leads to the repetition of certain patterns without us consciously understanding why. In therapy, such patterns can become visible and easier to understand. The goal is not to attribute everything to the past, but to gain a better understanding of what is happening in the present. After all, awareness can open up new possibilities: when we recognize what is happening inside us, we are better able to decide whether to follow a familiar pattern or try something new.

 

My Therapeutic Approach ​

My work is resource-, person-, and process-oriented. For me, this means we don’t just focus on what is difficult or needs changing. We also look at what is already there—your strengths, abilities, relationships, experiences, and everything in your life that is already going well. At the same time, it can sometimes be helpful to take a closer look. If a conflict repeats itself, something remains unclear, or a reaction seems particularly intense, we can explore together what might lie beneath or behind it. In doing so, I can reflect back to you what I perceive—such as a tension, an ambiguity, or an attitude that arises during our interaction.

The goal is always to make things visible and understand them together—not to judge you. ​ ​

 

You Are the Expert on Your Life

You are the expert on your life.

I do not come with ready-made solutions or a plan for how you should live your life.

I bring experience, therapeutic knowledge, and various tools that can help you view your situation from different perspectives, recognize connections, and gain new experiences. Sometimes a new impulse is needed. Sometimes a pause. Sometimes a movement that sets something in motion. Together, we will see what feels right for you. ​​

 

What Does a Session Look Like? ​

No two sessions have to look the same. Sometimes we move freely or with guidance. Sometimes we work with breath, body awareness, or relaxation. Music, silence, and creative methods can support the process. We can talk, try things out, pause, or observe together what is happening within you. It is not about doing things "right." It is about noticing what emerges and curiously exploring what might develop from it. ​

You may lead. You may follow. And you may pause at any time.
