Professional experience
I have been building my private practice since 2021. Since 2022, I have been working on a confidential helpline. I also provided psychological support in ADRA and UNICEF projects abroad.
Areas of focus
- Low self-esteem, feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and shame; difficulty identifying personal needs and desires, lack of motivation, procrastination; psychosomatic disorders, eating disorders; age-related and existential crises, internal conflicts; interpersonal relationships (toxic, abusive, codependent), divorce, emotional dependency, loneliness; parent-child dynamics, boundary-setting, separation, challenges in communicating with adolescents; social phobia, phobias, fears; adaptation to new environments, forced emigration; emotional burnout, depression, anxiety; traumatic experiences, PTSD, loss, grief; developing emotional intelligence, decision-making, responsibility, self-actualization. I work with individuals who feel inner emptiness, insecurity, and self-doubt, or who live a life that doesn’t feel like their own. My goal is to help clients find a path to change in a safe, supportive space where fear and pain become resources for growth. Therapy isn’t magic, but life becomes richer, more meaningful, and more fulfilling.
