ABPP Board Certified Specialist in Counseling Psychology
I grew up in Vienna, Austria, and now call Utah my home. Through my doctoral studies in psychology and interactions with people vastly different from me, I've learned to value and celebrate human diversity. In both my personal life and therapeutic work, I've witnessed the liberation, satisfaction, and enriched relationships that come from living authentically and being your true self.
With nearly a decade of experience as a therapist, I've supported adults across various settings: from universities and community mental health facilities to prisons. My primary focus has been aiding clients through major life transitions, trauma healing, anxiety and stress management, and fostering a purposeful life.
As a secular therapist, I stay updated with the latest research in psychology. My own publications and presentations have concentrated on psychotherapy processes, outcomes, and human relationships.
Besides running TruU Psychology, you'll find me skiing in the winter, playing table tennis, bonding with my family, or diving into tabletop RPG games with friends. I also value my time playing video games with my daughters and simply relaxing at home.
Those I work with frequently describe me as warm, open, caring, non-judgmental and fun! Under the right circumstances and if appropriate, I will incorporate humor and sarcasm into our meetings because it is good to laugh even when talking about life's difficulties. During our sessions, my goal is to create a safe, comfortable environment where you can be yourself and gain confidence in making decisions that are right for you.
My overarching goal is to help you become confident in discontinuing therapy as soon as feasible, and live a full life even with all it's difficulties. I deliberately use treatment techniques and approaches to support this goal.
If you are familiar with therapeutic treatment approaches, I want to let you know that I mainly utilize Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Humanistic Therapy. I also practice Trauma Informed Care and utilize Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) as needed. With that in mind, I adapt my therapeutic approach to your individual needs.
Are you a driven individual seeking a therapist who can help you identify practical solutions, using evidence-based strategies, to navigate your challenges? If so, I'm likely a good fit for you. I am inclusive and celebrate diversity. I'm LGBTQ+ affirmative, non-judgmental, and believe in integrating humor into our sessions. We'll work together on understanding your experiences and circumstances, pinpointing strategies to help you lead a fulfilling life, whether you're grappling with the effects of trauma, anxiety, or navigating challenging life transitions.
Because I primarily provide telehealth services (with the exception of walk & talk therapy and coaching), there are a few circumstances where I would not be a good fit for you. While research shows that teletherapy is equally effective to in-person therapy, those with severe mental illness benefit from seeing a therapist in person. I would not be a good fit if you:
-
Experience intense or very frequent suicidal thoughts and/or intent.
-
Experience intense or very frequent thoughts and/or intent of harming others.
-
Have a moderate to severe history of self-harm or suicide attempts.
-
Experience psychotic symptoms (e.g. hallucinations, delusions).
-
