Psychotherapy

Psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy is a method of inquiry and treatment based in depth psychology tradition.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis can be a useful first step, as it integrates clinical knowledge and experience with the individual’s experience.

Consultation

A short term, 5-10 sessions, problem oriented, psychoanalytically informed consultation regarding a specific question or a problem.

Consultation for Parents

Based on the knowledge of developmental psychology and close inquiry into social circumstances, health and history of the child and family, I provide support and information families sometimes need to navigate various developmental milestones and life challenges.

Referral

Clinical experience has shown me a lack of understanding in public, in the field of mental health care, regarding which problems belongs to which specialist. For example, it is not obvious which specialist to consult when you have a sleeping difficulty, unlike when you have a broken bone. In the context of referral, I take time to listen and offer an informed, often multidimensional perspective on the various available treatment options and strategies.

Physiology is complicated by emotion

Personal Experience & Biography

Around 10 years ago a dear friend and my heart lead me to starting  a training in
Psychoanalysis in Vienna at Sigmund Freud University (SFU) and Psychoanalytic Seminar
Innsbruck(PSI), where I closely observed human development, psychological health and
illness.
In the realm of mental health  ancient definitions of balance and flow translates into balance
between attachment and separation; adaptation and innovation; inner and outer worlds…
Health is more than the absence of symptoms and therein we find physical well-being,
capacity to work and love, play and creativity…
It is a core value to my heart to approach clinical phenomenon with curiosity, which is a
legacy of psychoanalysis.
Currently based in Vienna, I work at a shared psychoanalytic psychotherapy practice
together with my three dear international colleagues, as well as online, and collaborate with
various partners in providing my care.
