German Therapists in Denver, CO
There’s a quiet courage in wanting to understand and face yourself more deeply. I specialize in working with adults navigating complex trauma, drawing from my Austrian roots in psychoanalytic tradition as well as my background and training in the arts. I’m attuned to how early environments, cultural forces, neurotype and personal history intertwine in ways that shape how we move through the world. Many people who seek me out are reflective and curious about their inner life, wanting both depth-based and practical strategies. I work to offer an accepting space where inner processes can unfold with more agency and coherence.

How many times have you told yourself, 'this year it will be different' abut you might find yourself in the same loop of unhappiness and low motivation to change anything. You give and give, trying to make everyone happy around you, and it sometimes works and sometimes not. Now you feel drained, exhausted and a big depressing feeling has settled in your chest, making it hard to breathe. There is a way out! Whatever coping mechanism you have tried has not worked, and it might have become a problem of its own (Substance Use). It is time to try something different! It is time to give yourself a chance on happiness!

I offer sessions in both English and German.
In our work together, I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), and existential perspectives.
Whether you’re feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you or simply want support navigating life’s inevitable complexities, we’ll figure things out together, one step at a time.

Real psychotherapy is not about quick fixes. My practice is built for those ready to go deeper—beyond symptom relief—into lasting transformation. My background reflects over 20 years of Buddhist practice, more than a decade of clinical work across crisis and private settings, and I'm pursuing advanced doctoral research in psychology.
Clients often come to me when they are ready for a space that can hold complexity—whether it’s trauma, identity, meaning, or the unconscious patterns that keep repeating. Together we work at the intersection of depth psychology, existential philosophy, and contemplative practice.

If you are highly sensitive and/or neurodivergent and you're feeling all talked out, or like you have all the insight but haven't been able to shift in the ways that you want to, it might be time to try somatic therapy. As a trained somatic therapist, I can support you in deepening your relationship with your body and understanding the language it speaks—including how trauma may have manifested in your nervous system and is impacting your life today. Through embodied awareness, gentle movement, imagery, and energetic work, we will uncover the unconscious scripts and wounds that your body has been holding to gently repattern them.

There is hope for change and it's likely going to be difficult. Most of my role as a therapist is helping others to face the hard things and to do it consistently. I'm here to help you through the ups and downs of this process. I'm experienced with helping in complex issues with multiple diagnoses. My primary focus is on OCD and I often see clients who have OCD and trauma, or OCD and something else. In life, it's important to face our distress with compassion and to focus on the next step we can take. I'm here to help you practice compassion and to find an effective next step.

Our brains are amazing, and awful.
They keep us alive, but get traumatized, depressed, anxious, obsessed. Our thoughts can get so entrenched we can't find our way back to connection and happiness.
If you're neurodivergent, it's harder. If you're LGBTQIA, it's harder. If your trauma is anything other than traditional, it's harder. (this is not to say it's easy for neurotypical, straight, or traditionally traumatized individuals).
I'd like to help you find your connection, creativity, calm, and passion. If you once had it, we'll find it again. If you can't remember ever feeling ok, we can learn together how you can feel good.

The word psychotherapist is greek and means "Healer of the Soul". When you come into my office, I will not label you with anxiety, depression, addiction or any other disorder. You will hear me ask questions like: How is your addiction protecting you from pain? What do you not feel when depression numbs you? Once you witness and heal the wounds of your soul (you can also call it trauma), the symptoms (the 'disorder') can disappear. If you are interested in having a deeper understanding and awareness of your emotions, I will help you to develop a relationship with yourself that is characterized by curiosity, respect and compassion.

Sometimes people hit a wall. Things that used to be satisfying, like career, relationships, or hobbies don't light them up the way they did when they were younger. All the sleepless nights worrying about "why?" just lead to a useless cycle. I help people, aged 20-99, who have "hit the wall" and are ready to find a healthy way through to the other side. My clients are sick to death of repeating the same unsatisfying patterns, but can't seem to stop or change. They feel stressed, ashamed, shut-down, or depressed and don't feel nearly enough love, joy, optimism, or creativity.

Do you feel anxious and burnt out from trying to keep it all together while feeling like you’re falling apart inside? I specialize in stress management and anxiety therapy in Colorado Springs.
For many of the women I work with, this constant anxiety is tied to the invisible, heavy weight of motherhood. It’s having “100 mental tabs” open at once: the doctors appointment you forgot, the guilt over losing your temper and the nagging feeling that everyone else is doing this better than you.
I’m a mom, too. I know this lonely, exhausting cycle of trying to be a 'Perfect Mom' while losing the woman you actually are.

Having a safe, nonjudgmental space, to be yourself, and to reflect, discuss, and learn about your reactions, decisions, and challenges can lead to improved well-being. My psychotherapy practice creates that space in a hopeful, compassionate atmosphere. Psychotherapy is a collaborative process.

I can weave traditional psychotherapy with mindfulness practices to relieve symptoms, promote self-care, make intentional decisions, and grow. Sessions available 8 AM-3 PM. Please email me and I'll be able to answer more quickly.
