I hold degrees in engineering and psychology. During a pivotal period in my life, it became clear to me that I was far more drawn to the complexity of the human experience than to numbers.

Professional experience
How I work:
There will be no exercises or tasks. We simply talk—about you, your inner world, and what matters to you now.
I listen, ask questions, and highlight what may have gone unnoticed. We may explore the past, but only to better understand what is happening with you in the present.
I work from a psychodynamic approach, specifically relational psychoanalysis—a scientifically grounded therapy that helps you live more deeply and authentically. I focus on the unconscious, dreams, emotions, and always on the living connection between us.
I practice under the supervision of a specialist with over 20 years of experience.
Areas of focus
- I am a person in progress. Someone who has doubted many times, stayed silent, searched for words, transformed, and always returned to myself. Someone who seeks meaning in the depths and knows how unsettling it can be there. I am learning to be present the way I once wished someone had been present for me. I don’t have all the answers, but I have enough patience and curiosity to listen. I am drawn to depth, sincerity, and a living presence. I believe change begins where you are truly heard. I took a long time to reach this point—through personal experience, learning, and encounters with inner crises and discoveries.
- I am here for you if you are experiencing:
- Inner anxiety, tension, or fear of not coping, panic attacks
- Loss of meaning, exhaustion, procrastination, burnout
- Difficulties in relationships, feelings of loneliness or misunderstanding
- Grief, change, crisis, or a painful experience
- A desire to understand yourself more deeply, your reactions, your dreams, and unlock your potential
- All of this can be explored in therapy.
