I have been working as a psychologist for nearly my entire professional life—since graduating from university in 2000.
I have diverse experience applying psychology across various fields. Initially, I dedicated three years to psychology in education and social work. Later, I transitioned into business. Before having children, for seven years, I worked as a recruitment manager, business trainer (developing and conducting workshops), and later as a human resources director at a construction and manufacturing corporation.
In 2018, I realized I was ready to establish a private psychotherapy practice. By then, I had accumulated sufficient life experience, knowledge, and tools to work with individuals and their life scripts.
I chose Transactional Analysis as my method, which incorporates powerful concepts such as Pamela Levin’s personality development cycles, Eric Berne’s life positions and ego states, life scripts, psychological games, and Stephen Karpman’s drama triangle, along with Claude Steiner’s emotional literacy and others. These approaches are applied not only in therapy but also in business, education, and other fields. I enjoy sharing this knowledge with clients, helping them understand how these concepts manifest in their lives.
In my practice, I adhere to the philosophy of Transactional Analysis: "All people are OK," "All people can think," and "Everything can change."
