This is me!

I was born in 1982 in the USA. I came to Austria in 2002 to study voice at the Mozarteum in Salzburg. Shortly after, I met my husband and we now have five beautiful children together.  After finishing my bachelor's degree, I realized my dream of becoming an opera singer wasn't the right thing for me. I then decided to dedicate my time to being a full time mom and have done so since the birth of my first child with all my heart. 

I started my journey to becoming a psychotherapist in 2020 as I began the propaedeutic course for psychotherapy. I have always been fascinated with people. Getting to know new people, learning about their history, and listening to their life stories fascinates me. Each one is so unique. It is important for me to treat everyone with respect, acceptance, kindness and compassion. Along with these personal qualities I have lots of personal experience working with people of all ages. I have used my time to volunteer in my childrens' schools and in my own personal community. These experiences have taught me a lot about working together and given me a large pool of experience to draw from in my work as a psychotherapist. 

In my free time I enjoy spending time with friends and family, reading and being in nature, even if it's  only in my own garden at home. I also enjoy learning new things.  I enjoy life and want to share my passion for life with others.
