As an English-speaking counselor in Vienna, I offer a calm space to pause, reflect, and find new ways forward.

What are the differences?
an explanation »
I have lived, studied, and worked across multiple continents—from Germany, Ireland, and France to Nepal, Mali, India, and the United States—experiencing life and work in very different cultures.
After five years working in science policy in Washington, D.C., I moved to Austria with my spouse and young family. Here, I worked in strategic science management and coordinated scientific advisory boards.
In search of new challenges, I have returned to my passion of helping individuals. I completed a degree in counseling and began supporting expats, international professionals, and scientists adjusting to life in Austria.
Along the way, I discovered a love for working with couples and am now completing advanced training in IMAGO Relationship Therapy, while also pursuing a degree in psychotherapy.
