What is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is a scientifically based healing method for treating psychological, psychosocial, and psychosomatic conditions. The aim is to alleviate emotional suffering, support during life crises, change unhelpful behaviors and thought patterns, and promote personal development and mental health.
My Approach: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
My therapeutic focus is on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This approach is scientifically well-researched (evidence-based) and is considered the first-choice method for many psychological issues, especially anxiety disorders and depression.
How does CBT work?
CBT is characterized by a goal-oriented and transparent approach. We jointly analyze current problems and develop concrete strategies to identify and change dysfunctional thought and behavior patterns. A collaborative working relationship at eye level is particularly important to me: you are the expert on your experience, and I bring the psychotherapeutic expertise.
In addition to various studies, I worked as a psychologist at Caritas Vienna and as a psychotherapist at Sanatorium Hera before establishing my own practice. I also continue to teach and conduct research at the Medical University of Vienna.
