I am a licensed psychologist in Tennessee committed to providing a high-quality counseling and psychotherapy experience, strongly supported by scientific research. I have studied in Vienna, Austria (the birth place of psychotherapy) and Nashville, Tennessee; I am also a licensed psychologist in Austria, Europe, and I am able to provide services in German as well.
I have extensive trainings in a wide range of modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, positive psychology, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness and stress management strategies; these approaches are active, problem-focused and addressing here-and-now issues. In my private practice, I focus on a wide range of issues (ADHD/ADD, men's issues, relationship and marital issues, trans-affirmative therapy, LGBTQIA issues, career and life choices, …). My overarching goal is to help people live their most authentic life by providing acceptance and a compassionate understanding of each unique individual.
I am still heavily involved in continuing research and emerging trends of therapy (such as internet addiction, social anxiety and internet gaming addiction); I present findings nationally and internationally. I am also an educator to graduate and doctorate students who are pursuing their goal of becoming licensed psychologists themselves.
When I am not working, I am an avid video game and science fiction fan. I also love to experience new technologies and tech gadgets; I am grateful to live in a time where technology is able to help people overcome problems.
I look forward to guiding you in a discovery of who you really are and creating a plan together to unlock your potential and live your most authentic life.
