My vocation is to support people on their path of development and healing. The goal is to lead a fulfilled, happy and free life. It gives me great pleasure to be allowed to play a part in changing my clients’ lives for the better.

To recharge my batteries, I enjoy spending time in the beautiful natural surroundings, especially near the water, caring for the plants in the garden or spending time with our dogs. To relax, I meditate, simply do nothing or, if time allows, I am also artistically active (dot painting).

Most people who come to me are looking for real and long-term change. Many have already tried a number of things, but often the desired result was not or only partially achieved and they are looking for effective solutions.  My personality is to not just stay on the surface, but to offer people the opportunity for profound transformation. Sometimes, of course, it is “only” about a short-term intervention to solve a specific issue.

I find it easy to recognize complex contexts in order to get to the root of difficulties. I am good at putting myself in other people’s shoes and have a motivating, appreciative and solution-oriented way of working. In addition to various methods, I use both specialist knowledge and my intuition. I have walked the path of transformation myself and am constantly developing. I would like to pass on this wealth of experience so that other people can also benefit from it.

I have been fascinated by psychological, medical and spiritual topics since I was a child. Although I initially completed a commercial apprenticeship (commercial academy) on the advice of my parents, my interests did not lie in this area. In addition, people kept coming up to me and asking me for advice and support. Very often this was successful, which filled me with great joy. I therefore decided to take a completely different path and study psychology in order to put my skills on a solid foundation.

During my studies, I was able to gain experience in the care of overweight children and adolescents, as a research assistant at the University of Salzburg and in the care of mentally ill people. After completing my studies and my additional training in a psychiatric hospital, I began my 20-year career as a clinical and health psychologist in a counseling center for families with children aged from birth to 3. For several years I also worked in my own practice and in a parent-child center. During this time, EFT therapy became an increasingly important part of my work, as it became clear that this method often led to healing success and solutions to problems much more quickly and easily than psychological counseling alone.
