Family in crisis? Everyone in the family is impacted by the stressful environment when children refuse to follow directions and develop behaviors such as verbal aggression (disrespectful communication, degrading comments, verbally threaten others), emotional outbursts (yelling, temper tantrums), physical aggression toward self (i.e., cutting and/or burning self) or others (pushing and/or hitting others, destroying property), suicidal ideation (threat to self) and/or homicidal ideation (threat to others), and/or running away (AWOL). As a result of feelings of sadness and anger, children and parents often engage in power struggles.

With a specialization in EMDR Trauma Therapy in addition to cognitive behavioral/attachment orientations I can help my clients move "past their past" ( Shapiro, 2012) and remain in the present.

Hey there! Congratulations on taking the first step to finding a therapist. It tends to be the hardest - acknowledging that things aren't going so well requires honesty, self-awareness, and humility. Or an "admittance of failure" as some might describe it. At least that's what it feels like. I assure you that you didn't fail and you're not a failure, no matter how strong those feelings might be. It's the system that's flawed; it drowns us in unrealistic expectations and superficial comparisons, causing us to feel overwhelmed, irritable, disconnected, lonely, and unfulfilled.

With over 20 years of professional experience and after years of private practice, I left the therapy world when I discovered the opportunity to advocate for individual and families. As a Therapeutic Consultant, my primary goal was to help individuals find the best fit for interventions for mental and physical health care. I soon discovered that the best fit can't happen without good diagnostics first. A team approach is the heart of our program, uncovering what is truly wrong, or right, about your body, mind, spirit, and lifestyle. Our concierge evaluation program provides one-on-one diagnostics and world-class care and support.

Real Self care is from the inside out. We live in a fast paced, digital culture that can be wonderful, but often makes it difficult to focus. Daily demands wear us down, and attempts to maximize productivity often pave over the feelings that would help us discover what matters most. Psychotherapy can be like the best of collaborations, to open options not previously imagined or that you did not think possible. It is a way of showing up for yourself and alligning with what really matters to you.

You're here, and it's not easy. Life's complexities have thrown you into a whirlwind of challenges – maybe it's the echoes of past trauma, the persistent tug of anxiety or depression, or perhaps it's the weight of expectations that feel impossible to carry. Originally from Austria, a former professional triathlete, and now doctoral student in MFT, I know firsthand the pressures of performance and the mental strains that come with it, I understand the delicate balance between physical prowess and mental resilience. If you are someone yearning for clarity and healing, I'm here to be your compass on this journey.

Angst vor Angst und Panikattacken? Oft führt das dazu, Ängste zu vermeiden und seine eigentlichen Bedürfnisse hinten an zu stellen. Z.B. bestimmte Dinge nicht zu sagen oder tun. Dies verstärkt oft die Angst, die Dich dann abhält, authentisch zu sein und Dein Potential zu leben. Aber das muss nicht so bleiben! Im Laufe meiner 20-jährigen Praxis habe ich vielen Menschen anhand verschiedener Interventionen helfen können, mit ihren Ängsten besser umzugehen.

Fast alle meine deutschen Landsleute sprechen und verstehen Englisch. Dennoch ist es sehr hilfreich eine deutschsprachige Therapeutin zu haben, weil wir tiefer in Probleme eindringen, wenn wir unsere Muttersprache benutzen. Ich bin in der BRD aufgewachsen und habe auf der FU in Berlin Diplom-Psychologie studiert. Mein Schwerpunkt mit Klienten war Familien- und Kindertherapie. In den USA habe ich mich dann auf Erwachsene mit Traumata, Angst, Depression, Beziehungskonflikten und Coabhaengigkeit spezialisiert. Ausserdem unterstuetze ich Kuenstler und Entertainer, da ich selber Buchautorin bin und ueber 70 Artikel veroeffentlicht (PT).

Das Leben ist zu kurz, um nicht so glücklich, erfüllt und selbstbestimmt zu sein, wie wir es uns wünschen und führen können. Manchmal können Sie es alleine schaffen, aber manchmal möchten Sie sich an jemanden wenden können, der Ihnen einen einfühlsamen und geschützten Raum bietet, um sich mit Ihrem tiefsten, authentischsten Selbst zu verbinden. Vielleicht erleben Sie Ihre Beziehung stagnierend, emotional/physisch getrennt oder durch Verletzungen, Vertrauensbruch und Enttäuschungen belastet und suchen Klarheit, einen neuen Weg, entweder zusammen oder getrennt zu gehen.

Das Leben kann machmal einfach schwierig sein. Du füllst Dich überschwemmt, überfördert, ängstlich, traurig, oder ärgerlich. Du magst Dich nicht. Du kommst irgendwie nicht voran im Leben. Es gibt Verhaltensmüster in Deinen Beziehungen die immer wieder auftauchen, ohne dass Du es hinbekommst, sie zu verändern. Vergangene Erfahrungen kommen zwischen Dir und Deiner Fähigkeit, mit dem heutigen Leben klar zu kommen. Deine Überlebungsstrategien bringen eher Probleme als Erleichterung, aber Du weißt nicht, wie Du damit aufzuhören sollst.
