About me
I relocated from Chicago to Switzerland in 2018 after marrying my Swiss husband. This transition was accompanied by a host of joys and challenges, which has included gaining an appreciation for long walks in the stunning Swiss landscape, trying to learn better table manners, and wrestling with the German language. In addition to counseling, I enjoy singing, writing creatively, and reading a variety of books.
My previous clinical experience includes working with adults and adolescents recovering from traumatic experiences, substance use, bereavement, relocation, abuse, and neglect. I am a person of faith and maintain a Christian worldview, but enjoy working with people from all stages, ages, traditions, and walks of life in a spirit of collaboration and mutual learning.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
EMDRRecommended for those dealing with trauma who want to process painful memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact.
Narrative therapyRecommended for those who want to rewrite the way they view their life story and feel more empowered in their personal journey.
I like to approach my work with compassion, humor, and authenticity. The primary therapeutic approaches I use (EMDR and ACT) cultivate real brain change by resolving painful past experiences, increasing attunement to the present moment, and expanding capacity for joy, gratitude, and connection with others. Cultivating wholesome mental habits is a key element of my counseling approach.
I would love to hear from you and to enter into a dialogue with you about what you are experiencing. Whatever you're carrying, I'd love to journey with you.
