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!
