Trained in Germany and in the United States I have been able to learn from both academic and cultural traditions. Psycho-dynamic, Gestalt, Solution-focused and other approaches in Psychology led me to understand our emotional life as a strong and resilient force. This force is leading us - sometimes unnoticed - to new beginnings; we resist what is destructive and we heal at the same time.

I believe that we all have the innate power to change our own lives. To do this, we need to understand, accept and make peace with our past, and realize that it does not control us. We live right now. Regardless of what has come before, we have choices now, and the choices we make today create who we become tomorrow.

If you are struggling in life, chances are you have a diagnosis which is termed a psychiatric disorder- but diagnoses only define the negative aspects of who you are! In fact, most "disorders" have a wealth of amazingly positive traits also associated with them. Together, you and I will work to uncover your superpowers- those positive traits that diagnoses don't cover, and which make you amazing. Some of the therapies we incorporate into our practice include art therapy, Internal Family Systems, Authenticity Therapy, various styles of quick and effective trauma treatment, practical life skills, mindfulness (DBT) and CBT.

Currently Accepting New Clients. The reality of pregnancy and childbirth doesn't always match up to the expectations. Please know you're not alone. Family transitions can contribute to changes in family dynamics and feel overwhelming - no matter your role within the family. It's not always easy to reach out for support, but a phone call is the first step toward getting back on track. I specialize in peripartum mental health.

Accepting New Clients+ The "game-changers" for my clients are the "AHA" moments; the moments they find themselves thinking about something differently than before. That moment can change a person, and it can change their destiny. The majority of my clients are young adult females looking to understand what’s wrong with them… dating life, home life, work life… it all seems too overwhelming and there are more questions than answers. The aha moments come when we connect the dots between childhood experiences and current mind-set. There is nothing wrong with you; and what happened is not your fault.

You can't sleep. Your heart races. You might feel sad most of the time. You feel like you're forcing yourself to do everyday things. Maybe you tried medication but you don't feel like it's helping. You may even be finding comfort in drugs or alcohol because they are the only things that make you feel better or not feel anything at all. This is what it might feel like to live with anxiety or depression.

Diet culture's insidious messages have confused many of us and complicated our relationship with food and our bodies. If you or your teenager is struggling with shame, guilt, and worry around eating, I teach self-compassion skills that support a holistic, intuitive, and confident way of living. I have a passion for providing brave spaces for individuals living in marginalized bodies and am a LGBTQIA+ gender affirming care provider. I love helping people of all ages become confident, intuitive eaters and rebuild their relationship with their bodies.
