About me

I am a licensed psychologist working with adults who want to start a psychotherapeutic journey along the lines of psychoanalytic theory. While I am training in Group Analysis, I work with individuals too, as the group analytic point of view is not applicable only in groups, but also in persons that are of course members of other real life groups (family, friends, work etc.). It seems to me that most of the problems of every day life are evidenced in the relationships we have with others and the group setting and theory are the best way to see these emerge in front of us so that we can understand them. Even though I work with children and teens in collaboration with a specialised center for children with developmental and psychological disorders, in my own practice I only treat adults.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Group therapyRecommended for those who want to work through their challenges in a supportive group setting and learn from others who share similar experiences.
PsychoanalysisRecommended for those who want to explore how their unconscious mind and early experiences affect their current behaviors and feelings.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
My training in Group Analysis is based in the analytical theory while also focusing on interpersonal relationships of the present. I chose this approach because I wanted to combine the psychoanalytic and systems theory and saw that people who are treated by that tend to gain deep insight of their inner world while also improving their social skills, and getting to know how others see them. In my view, there should be some time of individual psychotherapy before entering the group so that the individual is ready to face the challenges of a multi-person situation.
