As a licensed psychologist skilled in providing psychotherapy that addresses the full spectrum of human experience, I collaborate with you to attain healing and resolution of your problems, advance in your growth and transformation, and increasingly realize your potential. I facilitate the integration of your sense of identity, purpose, and values with the way you live your life to endow it with greater authenticity and meaning.

In these ways, I assist you in the creation of a more peaceful, happy, and fulfilling life.

Are you longing for healing, transformation or a more trusting sense of self and more fulfilling life? My approach to counseling and psychotherapy with individuals and couples is holistic, creative and embodied, within a framework of Jungian psychology and creative arts therapy. With 20 plus years of clinical experience, I welcome individuals and couples struggling with life transitions, relationships, family matters, career or low self-worth, or who suffer from anxiety, depression, loss and grieving, questions of meaning or their intimate sense of spirituality. Having grown up in France and Germany, I also enjoy working with those whose mother tongue is German or French.

I am inspired by transformation, by the possibilities, freedom, and implications of deep personal change. I’ve seen it in myself and my clients. Moving from stagnation to aliveness, from isolation to love. I’m honored to work with you on your path of healing, self-discovery, growth, and transformation.

Psychotherapy offers emotional and psychological space for change. It is an opportunity to decode what is not working and with therapeutic guidance provide clients with a scaffolding to try out new thinking and ways of feeling. I see psychotherapy as a kind of lab, where clients safely get to try new approaches out, notice what works and what is most effective. My work is about helping clients; whether a problem to be solved, a desired behavioral change, or finding meaning during a life challenging experience. I encourage individuals to contact me and explore that change. I am here to help.

Do you feel stuck and exhausted by all the cycles of "what if" that take up space in your mind? Are you struggling with anxiety or shame related to your body? Do you feel stuck in unhealthy dating or relationship patterns? You're not alone. In our lives, we all desire connection, confidence, and ease - sometimes we just need some help reaching our goals. My work strives to help individuals struggling with anxiety, body image, disordered eating, and relationships to heal, learn supportive coping skills, and feel secure in their lives.

I work with adults of all ages who seek the greatest access to their abilities and skills, wish to understand and accept themselves more fully by mitigating both internal and external obstacles, experience compassion, and act with social responsibility.

I work with people who want to feel happy, safe, and be able to connect with others. If you are feeling down, lonely or lost I can help. My goal is to create a safe place where you can express yourself without judgment, explore what is troubling you, and develop strategies to facilitate the change you desire. Together we will figure out what is holding you back and how to overcome it.

Your self-worth is in desperate need of some major repairs. Caught in the harmful cycle between breaking down and numbing out, you feel trapped in an endless loop. There's a pattern emerging in your relationship to yourself as well as your relationships to others. Themes from your past keep replaying every time you get close to someone (i.e. codependency, fear of abandonment, and poor communication). An aching pit of dissatisfaction is starting to fester in your stomach. The further you let yourself sink into this despair, the louder your negative self-talk becomes, and the further your goals of happiness seem to slip out of reach.

Intrusive thoughts, images, or fears popping into your head? Are you feeling anxious and out of control? Are you feeling a sense of urgency and need to check or ask same questions or go over things in your mind until you get an absolute answer but you never do? You may be dealing with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. As an OCD specialist who has OCD I want to help you learn what OCD is, how it works, and how to overcome it.

Hello and welcome! I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) psychotherapist that is dedicated to creating an inclusive, authentic, and safe therapeutic experience. Therapy with me focuses on collaborating with individuals and couples seeking to explore their current and past experiences, personal identity, and gain insight into what may no longer be serving them in order to cultivate growth and healing. In addition to working with individuals, I am passionate about collaborating with couples of all kinds to navigate the challenges of communication, stressors, intimacy, and differing experiences that show up in relationships.

Sometimes it’s hard to know why you’re feeling distressed. Many factors, often outside our awareness, influence and impact how we relate to others. I can help you explore your feelings and achieve understanding and relief from the symptoms that are getting in the way of a happier, more emotionally satisfying life. I'm highly trained and experienced working with a broad range of individuals from diverse backgrounds to make deep, enduring changes in their personal and professional lives. My approach is collaborative and thoughtful and I bring to my work compassion, humility and warmth.

At times we may feel that our lives lack meaning. Or we wake up one day to realize that we find very little joy in our daily routine. We yearn for deeper connections to others or more fulfilling work/home lives. We may feel as if our lives have become unmanageable - what was once an ideal life has become burdensome and challenging. Whether it's uncertainty about the future, lack of direction in life, challenging relationships or unhealthy patterns of behavior that get in our way, I believe that life's difficulties can provide us with golden opportunities for growth.

Relationships are challenging no matter what. They are especially difficult if you've had minimal guidance in learning healthy ways of dealing with conflict or asking for what you need. This lack of exposure to healthy ways of relating can show up in friendships, in a romantic relationship or at work through behaviors such as avoidance, accommodation or other ineffective actions. The result is disconnection and dissatisfaction. It is important to understand how you show up in relationship in order to make a healthy change. I am here to help you with this process.
