Great to meet you!

I'm an interactive bi-cultural somatic expressive arts therapist who brings a lot of joy to the work she does, creating safety to address challenges people face. I offer a unique blend of person-centered, humanistic, transpersonal-oriented somatic-based Expressive Arts therapy and energy practices in German and English. I welcome a variety of clients across cultures, ages, lifestyles, and sexual/gender orientations.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I provide a space for deep inquiry into your heart and soul to support healing the wounds of the ego. I'm interactive and will offer suggestions to look within through expressive arts and somatic inquiry tailored to who you are as a person besides deeply listening to you so you can feel and hear yourself. Together we will look into what is in the way of living a fulfilled authentic joyful life. Creative Expression (movement, writing, drawing, music) and dreams are all gateways to look within.

What you can expect from our first session

In a compassionate, non-judgmental, and safe environment, we will discover together what your soul wants to tell you to be more fully yourself. We will explore what experiences created wounds that make it hard to trust and hear yourself, so that your life can blossom and your heart feel fulfilled. Anxiety, depression, grief, past or current traumas, loss are worked with to release stress and bring more peace. You can learn communication tools that will make your relationships more fulfilling.
