About me
I was born in Germany but raised in the US, and moved to Berlin in 2015 after finishing my undergrad degree. In Berlin, I sought space for freedom in my creative practice and for myself, and though I've been lucky to find this in many ways, I'm also familiar with the 'shadow side' of relocation, as well as with the challenges associated with finding community and choosing a path that lacks a clearly defined list of steps.
I decided to pursue a career in psychological counselling by starting a Master's degree in 2018, and quickly fell in love with psychodynamic theories for the spontaneity I felt they left room for in the treatment process. I've since been able to develop my professional stance during the four years I spent working with young adults to support them in their self-actualization, often under extremely challenging circumstances.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Person-centered approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
My approach is holistic, person-centered, and rooted in empathy and respect. My approach draws from various treatment modalities, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, Schema therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In practice, this means I'll let you lead sessions and will devote my attention to furthering my understanding of you as a person, while also offering my thoughts and observations. Most central to the therapeutic process is our therapeutic alliance, which is why I encourage us to examine our working relationship in the here-and-now.
For me, the process of providing therapy is one of continuously deepening my understanding of your inner (and outer) world through nonjudgmental listening and careful attention. As we develop a shared language, we'll be able to examine what role your symptoms and painful patterns play in your life, opening up a space in which new and exciting choices can be made. Though our aim will be to solve present-day problems, I do encourage clients to revisit early childhood experiences, as this is where many coping mechanisms are developed in response to unmet needs.
I welcome clients of any background or identity. I'm particularly experienced with issues around neurodiversity, queerness, and polyamory, but I'd always rather understand how you relate to a specific concept rather than make assumptions.
I offer a free online consultation to see if we're a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you!
