Many of the clients that I have worked with during the past 18 years have faced stressful life events that have triggered anxiety, depression, and anger. Frequently, these feelings have begun to significantly interfere with relationships, work, and overall sense of self. In my practice, I provide a safe and respectful relationship that promotes courage and strength to confront and work through these difficult feelings and experiences. By talking with a caring and trained professional, my clients are able to develop new perspectives about themselves and their concerns and this allows them to approach life with increased hope and enjoyment. I have been trained in a variety of therapeutic approaches and utilize them in an integrative manner based on my professional evaluation and the client's needs. I do believe that interpersonal factors often play an important role in psychological concerns and this is reflected in my approach to therapy. I have lived and traveled abroad extensively and thus am experienced with and sensitive to cross-cultural issues and concerns. I am able to provide services in German.
