What is important to me

Comprehensive, holistic and age-appropriate care from birth to young adulthood is very important to me. It is important to me to make individual therapy decisions in consultation with you as parents that are tailored to the needs of your child and your family. My basis for this is, among other things, the current conventional medical knowledge of pediatrics and my experience in the therapy of adolescents with eating disorders.

Why I like working at H7

I appreciate the different disciplines under one roof, which means that an interdisciplinary exchange is always possible. You can feel that all the staff are there for the patients at the H7 Health Center with heart and soul.
