A BIT ABOUT THERAPY
Personalized Attention for All Your Needs

I was born in Germany and grew up traveling to many parts of Europe and Africa. These experiences led me to appreciate the uniqueness and inner strength of each individual.

​I believe that as human beings, we have the innate wisdom to heal ourselves, but sometimes we need a little help and guidance on our way to get back on the path that is right for us. I want to help guide you back to this route and find a connection to your “Self” again, using an approach that is tailored to your individual need.

When I moved to California, I studied the arts and theater and transitioned to psychology. I enjoy incorporating aspects of the arts into treatment to foster healing. In 2006, I received my Masters in Clinical Psychology and soon moved to the Central Coast. I have years of experience working with individuals in the areas of eating disorders, trauma, grief, loss, LGBT, HIV and AIDS, substance abuse, as well as, anxiety and depression/bipolar disorder. I use EMDR, sensorimotor/somatic therapy as well as IFS, CBT, DBT and drawing from various Gestalt techniques.
