Rica is an experienced psychologist, lecturer, and trainer with a clear focus on mental strength, resilience, and mental health.
Since 2018, she has been working with people in particularly demanding professions - including emergency services, police, healthcare workers, and managers in leadership roles. These groups face high emotional, physical, and organizational demands daily, and Rica supports them in strengthening their mental resilience, consciously regulating stress, and ensuring long-term performance.
Her approach combines scientifically grounded psychological methods with a deeply empathetic and at the same time clear attitude. Rica manages to convey complex topics such as stress mechanisms, prevention, mental burdens, and emotional self-regulation in an understandable and relatable way. She emphasizes that participants take away not only knowledge but also concrete tools that really work in critical situations - whether in operations, team conflicts, or challenging decision-making scenarios.
As a lecturer at the Fresenius University of Applied Sciences, Rica teaches topics such as health psychology, prevention, and stress management. Her courses are characterized by didactic clarity, a strong orientation towards practical transfer, and the ability to activate and involve both students and professionals equally. Her goal is to present scientific findings in a way that they can be immediately applicable to professional life. In her training sessions, Rica creates trusting environments where people can open up, reflect, and develop new options for action. She works with calmness, sensitivity, and a secure structure that provides participants with orientation and support. In doing so, she combines psychological expertise with human warmth. A combination that makes her work effective, sustainable, and transformative for many participants.
