PERSONAL
I was born in Vienna in 1963. As a mother of four daughters and one son, the diverse experiences of a large family everyday life continue to shape me to this day. These personal experiences support my practical understanding of the complex dynamics, challenges, and concerns of parents, children, and adolescents. At the malacht medical center, I work therapeutically and consultatively, accompanying people in an interdisciplinary environment with the goal of holistic psychological care.
