First, you have to stand up for yourself and give vent to the feelings you have buried.

I was born and grew up in Vienna. After years as a physiotherapist in a Vienna accident hospital and in my own practice, I studied medicine in Innsbruck. I completed my specialist training in Germany and Switzerland. I chose both professions because I enjoy meeting people. I am interested in what moves them and what guides their thoughts, feelings and actions, and I am still fascinated by the diversity of individuals. As a person who is eager to learn, I have become acquainted with a wide variety of approaches and methods in Europe, overseas and Asia. As a psychiatrist, I want to help with holistic medicine, with sound specialist knowledge and my diverse personal experience.

​

Psychological problems, which can disrupt a person's experience and behavior, are often signs of a failure to cope with a "life issue". Sometimes these issues are also the source of ongoing crises and conflicts.

My goal is to help people try out new things – even if this can often be associated with fear at first.

​

The focus of my work is on people's ability to overcome crises on their own, because every crisis offers the opportunity for development. I see it as my job to help patients achieve long-term stability.

You alone are not the problem and you are not alone with your problem!
