As a clinical social worker trained and licensed in the US and a Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie licensed in Germany, I provide trauma-informed, client-centered therapy in English in Neukölln.
I grew up and did my education and training in the US and have been living in Berlin since 2017.
I support clients through life transitions, in coping with depression and anxiety, and in attending to mental health in the perinatal period (pregnancy and postpartum). I have particular experience working with queer and LGBTQIA* folks, as well as people in poly and/or expansive relationship models. I welcome any and all people curious about their mental wellness and personal growth.
Using techniques from dialectical behavioral, cognitive, and client-centered therapy, I work with each client individually to tailor your treatment plan to you and your specific needs and wishes. I view the therapeutic relationship as a partnership, and the foundation upon which healing and growth can occur. My approach is trauma-informed and critical of power relations within and outside of the therapeutic relationship.
