Psychotherapy & Coaching in Munich
Since moving to Munich in 2014, I have worked at a counselling agency and a psychiatric clinic. I’ve been providing coaching for clients around the world via Skype since 2014. In 2016 I opened my private psychotherapy and coaching practice for english speaking residents of Munich, and currently am running a private practice at Marienplatz with Drew Singeisen another American therapist.
Therapy Experience in the U.S.
I first studied Psychology at Bates College, and later completed my Masters in Clinical Social Work at Smith School for Social Work in Northampton, Massachusetts. I first began providing group and individual psychotherapy for Veterans in Bedford, MA. I later worked as an individual and group therapist within a day-treatment program at Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital in Boston.

Coaching Experience
My passion for coaching is driven largely by my clinical work in a short-term psychiatric program in the U.S. I worked with individuals of all ages who chose to take time out of their routine in search of a significant life change. I saw that this program created the necessary “time-out” to rethink and realign priorities. For example, when clients lose a job or retire, they are given an important opportunity to use this “road-block.” With the right reframing techniques, one can see this obstacle or “problem” as a chance to focus on values of health and redirect to take balance and well-being into account. Through this work, I have seen that choosing to live according to our values leads to a happier and more rewarding life. It is this sense of wholeness and fulfilment that many of us strive for which inspires my coaching practice.
