For me, Process Work is a philosophy of life. It helps me to find meaning, orientation and aliveness in challenging moments. This attitude also shapes my work with people.

By founding the institute, I share my more than 30 years of experience working with people from different professional fields and life situations. I have been particularly shaped by my work at the interfaces of medicine, psychology and pastoral care, as well as in interdisciplinary teams and research. There I felt how essential it is to really listen to different perspectives and personal experiences and bring them into a lively dialogue.

In my role as director, an exchange on an equal footing is particularly important to me, supported by mindfulness of rank dynamics and the awareness that we are all learners. In my work as a coach, supervisor and therapist, I support people in experiencing conflicts and crises as opportunities for development and in following their own path with more presence, life satisfaction and in contact with their strength.

A particular focus of my work is engaging with transgenerational trauma and our German identity. This perspective is shaped by my intensive personal engagement with National Socialism and by my many years of work in Israel/Palestine. These experiences broaden my view of social contexts and Germany's role in global conflicts.
