Professional experience
My journey in psychology began when I turned to a psychotherapist for help with my inner struggles and psychosomatic issues. At the time, I felt broken and lost. Therapy helped me resolve far more than I had expected, and that inspired me to pursue a degree in psychology at university and further training in psychotherapy institutes. I’ve been practicing for two years now, conducting over 600 sessions, receiving glowing feedback from clients and recommendations from colleagues—all of which motivates me to keep growing. I’ve found my calling, and I absolutely love helping people.
Areas of focus
- Clients often seek support for eating disorders, psychosomatic conditions, relationship challenges in couples, panic attacks and phobias, as well as issues related to low self-esteem. My approach blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with emotional and somatic work, helping clients integrate their experiences, restore inner harmony, and cultivate self-acceptance.
