German Therapists in Kern County, CA

Angst vor Angst und Panikattacken? Oft führt das dazu, Ängste zu vermeiden und seine eigentlichen Bedürfnisse hinten an zu stellen. Z.B. bestimmte Dinge nicht zu sagen oder tun. Dies verstärkt oft die Angst, die Dich dann abhält, authentisch zu sein und Dein Potential zu leben. Aber das muss nicht so bleiben! Im Laufe meiner 20-jährigen Praxis habe ich vielen Menschen anhand verschiedener Interventionen helfen können, mit ihren Ängsten besser umzugehen.

Ich wuerde mich sehr freuen, wenn ich mit Ihnen auf Deutsch Kontact aufnehmen koennte, da die Heimatsprache of ganz wichtig ist, um seine Gefuehle und Gedanken auszudruecken und dann genau verstanden zu werden.

Das Leben ist zu kurz, um nicht so glücklich, erfüllt und selbstbestimmt zu sein, wie wir es uns wünschen und führen können. Manchmal können Sie es alleine schaffen, aber manchmal möchten Sie sich an jemanden wenden können, der Ihnen einen einfühlsamen und geschützten Raum bietet, um sich mit Ihrem tiefsten, authentischsten Selbst zu verbinden. Vielleicht erleben Sie Ihre Beziehung stagnierend, emotional/physisch getrennt oder durch Verletzungen, Vertrauensbruch und Enttäuschungen belastet und suchen Klarheit, einen neuen Weg, entweder zusammen oder getrennt zu gehen.

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).

Während ich die Entwicklungen auf dem Gebiet der Neurowissenschaften kuratiere, verwende ich verschiedene Modalitäten, um Menschen dabei zu unterstützen, sich wieder mit sich und anderen zu verbinden.

Ich verwende auch Techniken aus der PACT-Therapie: Ein psycho-biologischer Ansatz für die Paartherapie, der Paare zu einer sichereren funktionierenden Beziehung führt.

Life can be difficult, and we all find ourselves at times struggling with difficult thoughts and feelings. Past traumas or current stressors can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, or disconnected from ourselves and others. As a psychotherapist, I provide a compassionate, safe, and non-judgmental space for clients to explore with curiosity their feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and how they serve them and where they would like to bring in change.

What many of my clients share is a search to connect with a deeper understanding of themselves both as humans and, for some, as spiritual beings. Among them are international Angelenos and transplants, numerous creatives, healers, artists, writers and non-conventional people longing to heal, find new meaning, and re-connect with their inner wisdom and joy. I provide therapy in English, Spanish, and German.

I like working with Adults and Couples and use RLT (Relational Life Therapy) tools to help you find healthier ways to communicate. In addition, becoming aware of how your family of origin formed you can help provide self-understanding. My goal is to help you cultivate healthy relationships that will support you in the ups and downs of life. We all experience stressors and are juggling many demands that drain or overwhelm us. As a therapist I take an active and practical approach to guide you in finding the tools that help you grow in your path forward.

Frustrated? Having difficulty sleeping? Feeling overwhelmed, helpless or hopeless? With over 23 years of experience, I can help you understand the causes of such problems and set you on a path of healing. There are many sources of stress that can affect the brain and immune system and impair your capacity to cope. In my work with individuals and groups, I work with you to achieve overall wellbeing of mind, body and spirit.

Whether you are having a crisis, struggling with a mental health diagnosis, need emotional support or want to have a better understanding of yourself and your relationships, I can help you deal with these issues. I provide a safe, and supportive atmosphere for individuals, couples and families to do deep personal work.

Exploring your life in partnership with a dedicated therapist can be a remarkable gift to yourself. I can help you gain insight into unhelpful patterns and difficulties in your life, and support you in realizing your hopes and goals. I view symptoms not merely as problems that need to be “fixed”; instead I seek to help you uncover their deeper causes. Problems then become opportunities for renewal and positive change. I believe a trusting therapeutic relationship is at the foundation of a successful therapeutic outcome. My goal is to provide a safe and collaborative environment in which lasting change and healing become possible.

I have been practicing as a psychotherapist for 30 years. My main area of focus is working with families and children. Initially in my career, I worked with children in residential treatment settings, who were struggling with a variety of emotional and behavioral issues. During the past 20 years I have worked primarily in the field of high conflict divorce. I deal with all aspects of divorce, including mediating custody agreements, comprehensive child custody evaluations, resolving co-parenting conflicts and helping children cope with the stress of parental conflict. I also work with families dealing with blended family issues.

I center my client relationships around a spirit of empathy, collaboration and safety. The therapeutic support I provide is eclectic, client-centered, trauma-informed and rooted in finding a holistic path to resolution and balance when faced with life’s challenges. I work alongside you to be bring a sense of peace over disruptive or traumatic experiences, and thoughtful exploration of the questions around identity, self-worth and fulfillment that face us in every stage of life.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist offering evidence-based treatment for anxiety and related disorders, obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, trauma and other stress related disorders, mood disorders, well as psychosis. My frame of work is based on CBT, including mindfulness based approach, as well as DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) to enhance distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), which is a values-based CBT focusing on willingness, commitment, and valued-action towards a meaningful, fulfilling, and vital life.

I work with individuals or couples of any gender or orientation who seek help for sexual relationship issues. These issues are not limited to, but include arousal and orgasm, sexual desire, compulsive sexual behavior, masturbation issues, premature or delayed ejaculation, pain during sexual activity and psychological issues around monogamy, infidelity, boredom and wanting a change in one's sexual repertoire. The goal is often increased eroticism, heightened intimacy, and decreased anxiety during sex. My aim is for you to overcome the problems that result from negative feelings and behaviors and to achieve your full sexual potential.

When you're depressed, anxious or struggling in a difficult relationship being able to move through the world in an authentic way can feel almost impossible, especially when experiencing fertility and other stress related issues. I offer a safe environment to allow you to express yourself without judgment. I will work with you to understand how you are able to create a healthier, happier, more meaningful life. I have seen how the process of psychotherapy that I employ can help people change their state of being and working towards their best version of themselves as human beings.

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or defeated? Has worry taken over your life? Or maybe past trauma is resurfacing and is now also impacting your relationships while leaving you confused and frightened. While we often rationally believe in our strengths and potential for growth, our gut tends to reliably remind us that we are to blame, not good enough, unsafe, or powerless - because it feels so true. My deepest hope for our work together is for you to not only know that you are worthy of love and a fulfilled life but that you can also feel it in your body and live accordingly.
