Meet Claudia

Claudia is a Licensed Professional Counselor that had a passion for helping others early on. Diving into the field of Counseling Psychology was the coherent next step for her. Born in New York City and mainly raised in Austria, Europe, where she obtained her Master’s Degree in Psychology followed by her license as a Clinical and Health Psychologist, she trained and worked in various psychiatric hospitals, rehabilitation facilities and counseling settings on both continents. After relocating to the US nine years ago, she became a Licensed Professional Counselor. Most recently, she worked in a maximum-security prison in Alabama and recently transitioned into the private sector while also obtaining her certificate as a Health Coach. She provides maily individual therapy, and occasionally couples therapy. Her cosmopolitan approach is heavily influenced by her experience in working with people from all walks of life ranging from severe psychiatric illnesses all the way to overcoming everyday struggles and everything in between. Claudia believes it is her purpose to help people help themselves by guiding them toward their own potential within, which she is convinced everyone possesses and is capable of. Other than her passion for Counseling, Claudia cares deeply about holistic health which she incorporates into her mental health services.

In her free time, her world revolves around her two children, 15 and 8 years old, who she is raising bilingually (German and English). They are a very active family with her son playing basketball, her daughter dancing and Claudia herself a competitive national level bikini bodybuilder.
