About Me
Out of a growing need for change, the desire to work as an art therapist became apparent.
Already as a child, I loved to express myself creatively, and being able to work with this gift inspired me. Art makes it possible to discover the undiscovered and to accompany people on their many journeys, with all their facets.
I am passionate about my work and this calling has become a matter close to my heart.
Why «Tor zur Kraft» - Gateway to Power? TOR ZUR KRAFT is an invitation for you to go on a voyage of discovery.
The metaphor «TOR» aroused my curiosity to explore further.
What else is there? Where does it lead? ... And this fired my imagination.
It stands as a gateway to our inner and outer worlds, the worlds which shape and influence our actions. It allows me to be courageous and explore without fear. I re-discover myself, and learn and understand. I can combine knowledge and emotions, and learn to trust.
It is my decision at what speed I approach the gate. Do I open it or close it to continue research later?
I find my strength, discover my resources, my peace, my happiness ... or I simply give myself the space and time today, to be completely at one with myself in my creativity.
I can go step by step towards the GATE ... at my own pace. I decide.
