To study the way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be enlightened by all things of the universe.

About Me


I am a New York State licensed psychotherapist, and have been practicing psychotherapy and Zen meditation in the Soto tradition since 2002. I was trained in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at Washington Square Institute and specialized in Relational Self-Psychology at the TRISP in New York. 

In my previous life I was a journalist, traveling the globe in search of meaning that was to come from the outside world. Now I am traveling the road inwards, aiming to bring together both worlds.

Because of my European origins, I know how difficult it can be to adjust to a new culture and a whole new lifestyle in the United States. In order to help immigrants from all over the world navigate their social environment and overcome their sense of loneliness, I offer individual and group settings for expats in English and German.
