I am a native German who was raised between the U.S. and Germany. I have moved internationally 8 times and have attended schools in 3 different countries. I am licensed and trained in the U.S. state of Colorado and currently live in southern Germany. My experiences moving frequently throughout my childhood and teenage years influence my work as a counselor immensely. A strong focus of my work is on the invisible burdens and hurt many of us carry.
My belief is that when given the chance and the space to do so, we have the capacity to live meaningfully and authentically. I will support you as you deepen your relationship with yourself, build awareness, and reconnect with your strengths. My approach focuses on helping you explore thoughts, feelings and beliefs in a safe environment that allows you to identify and accomplish your goals. I am influenced by several theoretical orientations and my treatment is tailored to you and your goals. I utilize mindfulness exercises, as well as CBT and DBT techniques.
