About me

My path began with international studies in environmental studies, development, communication, and philosophy. I have always been interested in how inner and outer worlds are connected and how we relate to one another as human beings. Over time, I felt a growing desire not only to talk about change, but to make it directly experienceable. During my psychotherapy propaedeutic training and my Hakomi training, I found an approach that truly resonates with me: mindful, body-oriented, and deep. I am continually moved by how much wisdom is stored in the body and how healing it can be to give it space. Today, I work with clients in my practice in Vienna and online. I value working on eye level. You do not have to perform or prove anything. The focus is on coming closer to yourself and allowing new experiences of safety and aliveness to emerge.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Body therapyRecommended for those who want to connect their mind and body to release stress or trauma through physical sensations and movement.
Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.
Psychedelic integration therapyRecommended for those who have had psychedelic experiences and want help understanding and integrating the insights into their everyday life for personal growth and self-discovery.
My work is holistic and body-oriented. I understand life experiences as something that shape not only our thoughts, but also our nervous system and body. I do not see symptoms as defects, but as meaningful adaptations to earlier experiences. In our sessions, we slow down together. We bring attention to your present-moment experience: bodily sensations, emotions, inner images, and impulses. Through mindful exploration, unconscious patterns can become visible. In this aware contact, new possibilities often emerge that were previously out of reach. A particular focus of my work is supporting trauma, attachment themes, and the integration of psychedelic experiences. It is not about dramatic breakthroughs, but about embodied steps. Change becomes sustainable when it is felt in the body and lived in everyday life.
