Hello, and welcome!
I am a German Diplom-Psychologin (graduate psychologist), and I look forward to getting to know you.
For the past 18 years, I have had the privilege of supporting people through some of the most challenging periods of their lives. During that time, I have learned that every person has a unique story, and I believe that feeling truly heard and understood is often the first step toward meaningful change.
Empathy is at the heart of my work. You can rely on me to listen with genuine care, compassion, and without judgment. My goal is not only to understand what you are going through, but also to help you discover new perspectives and possibilities.
While exploring your concerns is important, I also believe in taking practical steps toward positive change. My approach is collaborative, structured, and solution-focused. Together, we will develop practical strategies and effective tools that you can apply in your daily life to reduce emotional distress, build resilience, and regain a sense of confidence and control.
Whether you are facing an acute crisis, navigating a personal or professional transition, struggling with anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship difficulties, or simply looking for an objective and supportive perspective, you do not have to face it alone.
In my virtual practice, you will find a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can speak openly and feel accepted just as you are. I firmly believe that every person already possesses the inner strengths needed for growth and healing. Sometimes those strengths simply become difficult to access, especially during challenging times. Together, we will identify and strengthen those resources so that you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and hope.
I would be honored to accompany you on your journey toward greater well-being and lasting positive change.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
