About me
Hello and thank you for visiting my page! I’m an American expat living in Schöneberg, Berlin, where I’ve had the privilege of calling home since 2017. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from the International Psychoanalytic University, as well as a Master’s in Neuroscience from Humboldt University.
What inspired me to pursue a career in mental health is the profound and transformative power of the therapeutic relationship. I have witnessed firsthand how this work can create a space for individuals to better understand themselves and foster lasting, positive change in their lives.
I truly believe that everyone is doing the best they can with the resources they have in the moment. When we are met with understanding, empathy, and the feeling of being truly seen for who we are, we unlock our natural capacity for healing and growth.
As an American in Berlin, I understand the challenges that come with adjusting to life here. Berlin offers a world of possibilities, but it can also feel overwhelming at times. It’s completely natural to question aspects of your identity in such a vibrant and diverse place. While this can bring about anxiety, I see it as a sign of growth—a wonderful opportunity to explore and deepen your sense of self.
In addition to offering counseling through It’s Complicated, I also work as a social worker in Schöneberg, where I have the privilege of supporting individuals with psychological challenges. Every day, I witness the resilience and potential for growth that resides within us all, and I am deeply honoured to be part of that journey.

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.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
Sometimes, when you’re feeling “off,” it can be difficult to understand exactly why. The swirling thoughts, overwhelming emotions, and inner confusion can leave you feeling disconnected, as though you’re losing touch with your sense of reality. My approach is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore yourself openly and without judgment. Therapy, at its best, is a place where you can uncover your true thoughts, your genuine feelings, and most importantly, your authentic self.
I work from a modern psychodynamic perspective, which means I believe much of our behavior is shaped by internal forces—forces that may not always be obvious, especially during times of stress. In relationships, for example, we often find ourselves repeating patterns that may have once helped us cope but no longer serve us. These patterns can be difficult to break without awareness, and that’s where the therapeutic relationship becomes so powerful. The dynamic between us is key to the work we’ll do together, and I invite you to share openly about your feelings toward me, the therapy process, and anything else that arises. This openness allows us to explore and gently shift old habits of interaction.
In our first session, our main focus will be to establish a connection and see if we are a good fit for working together. I’ll ask you about what’s going on in your life, and together we’ll expand your understanding of your situation. We’ll also discuss your goals for therapy and explore how we might work together to achieve them. While it’s important to have direction and clarity from the start, I also believe that therapy is an evolving process, and it’s perfectly fine to allow space for things to unfold naturally. You are under no pressure to have all the answers or to explain yourself in any particular way. You are simply invited to be you.
