About me

I practice as a systemically oriented child and adolescent psychiatrist with great curiosity and dedication. I value the diversity and richness of the many life stories I encounter in my work.

It is important to me to meet my clients on equal footing. They are the experts on their own lives, and I am glad to offer my professional support where it is needed and desired. Meaningful change often begins with small steps.

As a balance to my professional and family life, I enjoy spending time in the mountains, gardening, and engaging in creative projects such as crafting and DIY. Good food and a pleasant environment are important to me.

Main areas of focus

In the therapeutic context of Psycura: Eating disorders, depression, pharmacological treatment of ADHD, counseling and support for children and adolescents with gender incongruence.
