Sometimes we need help resolving painful and difficult experiences, strengthening our emotional muscles, and finding new paths in our lives. I am dedicated to helping people live their lives in a way that best reflects and supports who they are and who they want to be. I consider it a special trust to listen—as an unbiased third party—and help others process their thoughts, feelings, and experiences so that they can move forward.
As your therapist, I will carefully hold and consider the complexities of your life’s challenges to help you see yourself and your choices in new ways. I am a humanistic, relational psychologist; I believe in an equal partnership between me and you, as we each have critical parts to play in the healing process. I have a psychodynamic orientation, which means that I believe that your past experiences and patterns of behavior have an important effect on who you are today. True change will mean understanding and adjusting these patterns. Overall, my orientation is a good match if you are looking for long-term, transformational change.
I have experience working with adolescents and adults across the age spectrum. I work with people from all cultural and religious backgrounds. I speak English and German. I work with those who identify as LGBTQQIA+ and those who are a part of BDSM and kink communities. I am polyamory-aware with a sex-positive perspective on relationships. I work with mood disorders, depression, anxiety, eating disorders in recovery, and complex trauma and abuse recovery.
