I use many different forms of therapy and tailor them according to your specific needs and personality. While I listen carefully, I'm interactive and clarify, comment, sometimes express a different opinion. Along with this more exploratory insight-oriented approach, I also provide you with specific tools for certain challenges. I offer guidance, honest feedback, while maintaining a supportive environment.
Holistically speaking, I'd like to pay attention to lifestyle because this may contribute to emotional challenges. Small changes in nutrition, sleeping patterns, exercise, meditation, mindfulness can make a big difference.

Special qualities and knowledge I bring to therapy

I've been in private practice for twenty years, but had a life before that, which informs my work in terms of human and multicultural aspects, creativity, and making connections between past experiences and current issues. After receiving most of my education in Germany, work took me to different countries until I finally settled in the United States.
This familiarized me with the challenges of being far from all one knows and loves, adjusting to different cultures and building a new life and career. I developed some understanding of multicultural issues and love working with people from different countries. And I learned that we constantly change and, at times, need to adapt and change.
Other personal experiences include dealing with the challenges of being an artist (such as confronting creative blocks, rejection, existential fears)... chronic illness ... issues of aging parents... death and significant losses.
Why am I disclosing all this? Because I think that these personal experiences combined with my professional expertise have enhanced my work in terms of empathy and understanding, instilling hope and working towards creating a meaningful life.
