Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychotherapy

Systemic family therapist

After studying medicine at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum and the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, my “practical year” took me to the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas and the State University of New York, Buffalo.

After completing my doctorate in neurology, I received comprehensive and well-founded child and adolescent psychiatric / psychiatric training at the VITOS Clinic Riedstadt (KJP) and the VITOS Clinic Hadamar (adult psychiatry / forensics) from 1993 onwards. I completed this in 1997 with a specialist in child and adolescent psychiatry.

In addition to my job, I completed further training in child and youth therapy at Rhein-Main-e.V. (First procedure in depth psychological psychotherapy, second procedure for behavioral therapy, additional procedure for autogenic training and hypnosis) and has been a specialist in child and adolescent psychiatry and psychotherapy since 1999.

For the first time from 1998 to 2000 and again from 2007 to today I work in the social psychiatric center of Dr. Nawid Peseschkian as an employed specialist in a multi-professional team. I was able to expand my systemic focus through further training as a systemic-integrative couple and family therapist (WISPO) and have been certified by the DGSF (German Society for Systemic Therapy and Family Therapy) since 2001.

From 2001 to 2007 I was a medical assistant in the MTK clinics in Hofheim in the area of ​​adult psychiatry and psychosomatics, initially in an inpatient setting and then in the psychiatric institute outpatient clinic (PIA). Thus I have extensive experience in the integrative and cross-methodological treatment of patients of all ages.

As part of our practice, I take on supervisory tasks in our team and value continuous personal supervision, regular training and further education, as well as participation in intervision and medical quality circles.
