She studied philosophy , psychology and education in Tübingen from 1944 to 1949 and completed her psychoanalytic training at Alexander Mitscherlich's Institute for Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy in Heidelberg from 1949 to 1952. She worked as a freelance psychotherapist in her own practice from 1953 to around 1990.

From 1967 she volunteered as a member and from 1971 for several years as chair of the board of the association Lebenshilfe München , later also on the board of the Lebenshilfe in Marburg .
