Licensed Professional Counselor

“Passionate about helping others discover meaning in all circumstances-while providing the tools to support healing growth and transformation”

About Me

Life's challenges can feel overwhelming, yet I believe they hold opportunities for growth. I am passionate about helping you discover meaning, even in difficult circumstances. We will explore your experiences together, finding practical tools that support your healing and transformation. This collaborative approach helps you build resilience and move towards a more fulfilling life. It is ideal for individuals seeking deeper understanding and lasting change.

Approach

Focusing on meaning alongside practical skills, I guide short, steady steps that help you make sense of difficult moments and try new ways of responding. In sessions—in English, in person in Stuttgart or via secure online meetings—we move at your pace, alternating gentle reflection with concrete exercises to manage anxiety, mood shifts, trauma reactions, and relationship patterns. I often suggest brief between-session practices to test what feels useful. This approach tends to suit people seeking thoughtful, values-aligned change.
