I am a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), grateful to call Oberwallis home again, where I live with my husband and our two children.

Relationships are the cornerstone of our well-being, yet they rarely come with a manual. Whether you are navigating communication breakdowns, recovering from a breach of trust, or adjusting to the unique cultural and logistical stressors of an expat lifestyle in Switzerland, you do not have to figure it out alone.

I have had the opportunity to work with many expatriates, intercultural couples, and individuals navigating the unique challenges that can come with living between cultures. I value creating a compassionate, culturally sensitive space where clients can explore their experiences, strengthen their relationships, and develop a greater self-understanding.

I earned my Master’s degree from the University of San Diego and completed my clinical internship at UC San Diego Family Medicine. My work is grounded in evidence-based practices. I draw primarily from systemic and attachment-based approaches, working with both individuals and couples to better understand relational patterns and develop healthier, more fulfilling ways of connecting. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and incorporate somatic practices to support emotional regulation, increase body awareness, and strengthen the nervous system. I am also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
