I offer psychodynamic therapy to adults in the midst of any variety of problems in life, such as difficulties in relationships or work, feeling stuck in anxiety and depression, negative feelings about oneself, trauma, accepting oneself or feeling ashamed, hurting oneself or wanting to hurt oneself, and feeling demoralized about or unable to go after what one wants in life. You and I will work together to identify the things you are grappling with and figure out their causes, as well as the obstacles to change. This happens in an atmosphere of acceptance which promotes dialogue and an exploration of the self.

Therapie biete ich auf Deutsch und Englisch an.
Das Leben verläuft nicht immer so, wie wir es uns wünschen. Auch wenn nach außen alles gut scheint, kann sich innerlich Leere, Unruhe oder Orientierungslosigkeit zeigen. Ich arbeite psychodynamisch und existenziell – ohne schnelle Lösungen, sondern im gemeinsamen Erkunden dessen, was unter der Oberfläche liegt. Wer bin ich? Was ist mir wichtig? Wo gehöre ich hin?
