Das Leben kann machmal einfach schwierig sein. Du füllst Dich überschwemmt, überfördert, ängstlich, traurig, oder ärgerlich. Du magst Dich nicht. Du kommst irgendwie nicht voran im Leben. Es gibt Verhaltensmüster in Deinen Beziehungen die immer wieder auftauchen, ohne dass Du es hinbekommst, sie zu verändern. Vergangene Erfahrungen kommen zwischen Dir und Deiner Fähigkeit, mit dem heutigen Leben klar zu kommen. Deine Überlebungsstrategien bringen eher Probleme als Erleichterung, aber Du weißt nicht, wie Du damit aufzuhören sollst.

Fast alle meine deutschen Landsleute sprechen und verstehen Englisch. Dennoch ist es sehr hilfreich eine deutschsprachige Therapeutin zu haben, weil wir tiefer in Probleme eindringen, wenn wir unsere Muttersprache benutzen. Ich bin in der BRD aufgewachsen und habe auf der FU in Berlin Diplom-Psychologie studiert. Mein Schwerpunkt mit Klienten war Familien- und Kindertherapie. In den USA habe ich mich dann auf Erwachsene mit Traumata, Angst, Depression, Beziehungskonflikten und Coabhaengigkeit spezialisiert. Ausserdem unterstuetze ich Kuenstler und Entertainer, da ich selber Buchautorin bin und ueber 70 Artikel veroeffentlicht (PT).

I understand that everyone sometimes encounters obstacles in their lives that seem insurmountable.

As a therapist, my role is to support clients in achieving their goals by providing a safe and empathetic space for self-exploration and growth. Goal setting is a collaborative process, and I encourage clients to identify and articulate their objectives, whether they're related to mental health, relationships, or personal development. We work together to break down these goals into manageable, realistic steps. It's important to acknowledge that setbacks are a normal part of any journey. I help clients develop resilience and self-compassion, emphasizing that progress is not always linear.

Do you feel overwhelmed, not knowing how to balance your life and inner longings? Maybe you have resorted to coping skills that are no longer working or are even harming you. And maybe you are dreaming of getting your Self back by finding more meaning, purpose, and joy in your life. Sometimes a little outside guidance can shift our perspective and we can learn effective tools to help us thrive again. I love to help with: Anxiety disorders (including emetophobia), relationship solutions, women's issues, pre/postnatal concerns, women's health, peri/menopause, and parenting solutions.

Family Therapy

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
