About me
Our therapy path will use varied approaches to mental health. There is no “one size fits all” method.
By “rolling up our sleeves”, we will take on the hard work of healing old traumas, implementing practical strategies to face your challenges, and achieve positive changes in your life.
A native of New York City, I earned my Undergraduate degree in Psychology, with a concentration in Neuroscience, at the University of Massachusetts, Boston,
Living in Berlin since 2016, I received a Master’s degree at the International Psychoanalytic University, in Clinical Psychology. My thesis explored a new approach to treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), combining art therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
It’s my goal to support and help you find strength and healing.
I speak:
English
Location:
Kreuzberg Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, 10 Berlin, Germany
Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
IFS: Internal Family SystemsRecommended for those who want to explore and heal the different parts of themselves that might feel conflicted or overwhelmed.
Narrative therapyRecommended for those who want to rewrite the way they view their life story and feel more empowered in their personal journey.
I take an eclectic approach to therapy. Every person has a story that effects who they are and how they relate to people around them. I want to find and use the best tools possible to help you learn and understand from your story, how to not let it define you, and how to move beyond what your past might have dictated for you.
All patients start with a free 20 minute introductory session to see if we might work well together and if your needs fit my abilities. Then we would work in 50 minute sessions thereafter.
