About Me
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and certified Health Coach with over two decades of experience specializing in the psychology of resilience. My professional focus is on supporting individuals, particularly cancer survivors and those managing chronic illness, through evidence-based and integrative health practices. As a cancer survivor, I bring a nuanced understanding of the importance of combining traditional and alternative therapeutic approaches. These include mindfulness practices, strength-based interventions, and nature-based therapies, with a specific emphasis on equine-assisted coaching.
Originally from Germany, I completed undergraduate degrees in Medical Laboratory Science and Health Care Management, which provided me with a comprehensive background in clinical knowledge and healthcare systems. Following my relocation to the United States, I pursued a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling at the City University of New York. My doctoral research centered on equine-assisted counseling, reflecting my ongoing interest in innovative therapeutic modalities that contribute to emotional and psychological well-being.
My approach to counseling integrates both conventional and complementary methods to create individualized treatment plans. In addition to my clinical practice, I am actively involved in sharing knowledge with other professionals through workshops, presentations, and training sessions. My goal is to promote a holistic understanding of resilience and wellness within both therapeutic and educational contexts.
