The Therapist
Thank you for your interest in my services. I am an American Clinical Social Worker practicing individual and couples therapy in Geneva, Switzerland with English-speaking adults and adolescents since 2006.
I offer both in-person sessions in my office or teletherapy (online therapy). The choice is yours.
The therapeutic relationship between the client and therapist is the best predictor of success in therapy. Read about me, then if you are still interested, make an appointment to meet me in person.

The people who find me and work with me successfully are depressed, anxious, fearful, overly-stressed, grieving, lonely, having relationship or work issues, homesick, angry, confused, not sleeping, struggling with addictions, having issues with their children, don't know who they are or what they want in their lives.

The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.

On these pages, you will find resources for working with yourself that I often recommend to my clients to help them start the change process. The process of change can take time; it can be scary and difficult; it can take many turns; it can take you into unchartered territory; and change can be exciting! Change is evidence that you are moving forward, growing and evolving. Be gentle and kind with yourself and enjoy the resources here.
But I'll tell you what hermits realize. If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you'll come to understand that you're connected with everything.
