Therapy and Support at the Pulse of the Times – 1180 Vienna 1180 Wien
Grounded, Empathetic, Effective.

Life moves in waves – with highs, lows, and unexpected turns. I know this dynamic and understand how challenging it can be to navigate inner conflicts, even when everything appears perfect from the outside. Many of my clients are successful people who know how to function, but have lost access to themselves, to genuine satisfaction, or to inner calm. I offer a protected space in which you can let go, reflect, and develop new perspectives – without pressure, without judgement, but with plenty of clarity and depth.

As an experienced cognitive behavioural therapist, systemic organisational consultant and coach, breathing trainer, and mental trainer, I bring a comprehensive repertoire of methods that are individually tailored to you. Scientifically grounded, philosophically reflective, always up to date, and yet with a deep understanding of the human dimension.

For me, psychotherapy means not only healing but also growth. I see my role not only as solving problems, but as offering impulses for a more fulfilling, more successful, and more authentic life. With me you will find a combination of professional clarity, empathic understanding, and – when it fits – a touch of humour.

II work in German and English and support people from a wide range of countries and cultures. Let us discover together what you truly need – and how to shape your life so that it feels not only successful, but also coherent and fulfilling.

What has shaped me

Growing up in the Lower Austrian foothills of the Alps, nature, community, and responsibility were early companions in my life. My first degree in Landscape Architecture at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU) Vienna, along with several semesters abroad, sharpened my eye for communication and decision-making processes within complex systems.

Before working exclusively as a therapist and coach, I spent 17 years in management roles across technology, infrastructure, and public-sector-adjacent environments — including 8 years at Director/Board level in international contexts. I set up my consulting practice in 2015, first in Paris and, since 2018, also in Vienna. This dual competence — combining leadership practice with clinical work — defines my approach: grounded, clear, effective.
