Drawing from a wellspring of experience as a therapist, I consider it a true privilege to support and gently guide my clients on their journeys toward healing, growth, and transformation. I approach both life and the healing process holistically, recognizing the deep connection between the mind, body, and spirit. With compassion and collaboration, I embrace the uniqueness of each client, considering each one’s personality, strengths, and cultural background. 

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Professional Counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Connecticut and hold the title of Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie (HPG) in Germany. I am currently pursuing a Psychotherapy Diploma in Existential Analysis, which has profoundly enriched my therapeutic approach.

Originally from a small town in Connecticut, my life and work have taken me across the globe. I bring extensive experience connecting with people from a wide range of social backgrounds, nationalities, cultures, and faiths. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of living and working in diverse places -- from the vibrant cities of Boston and London to the Czech Republic, Indonesia, France, and Germany -- each offering unique cultural insights and deepening my appreciation for the resilience and beauty of people around the world. 

In keeping with my passion for offering culturally sensitive, compassionate care, I founded East to West Counseling in 2019 -- a practice community of international mental health providers.

On a personal note, I have been living in Europe since 2002, where I share my life with my Austrian husband and our two daughters.
