Approach
I offer individual counseling to individuals, and welcome clients of all genders, sexual orientations, cultures, races, and nationalities. I am LGTBQ friendly. I enjoy working with people who are experiencing stress due to their role as caregivers for children, spouses, elderly parent, or someone with a complex medical diagnosis. I also enjoy working with people who are adjusting to their new lives in Germany after an international move.
