My primary framework is Positive Cross-Cultural Psychotherapy, which integrates psychodynamic, behavioral, and cross-cultural perspectives. This means we explore how past experiences shape present difficulties, experiment with new ways of thinking and acting, and take into account cultural and individual context. At the same time, my work is fundamentally multimodal. I draw on existential coaching, Nonviolent Communication, Internal Family Systems (IFS), schema therapy, EMDR, and other approaches, adapting the process to each client’s needs. I pay particular attention to helping clients develop self-compassion, emotional awareness, and the capacity to care for themselves without guilt. I work on two interconnected levels. On a deeper level, we focus on insight, understanding, and healing — those “aha moments” that bring clarity about inner patterns, emotions, and past wounds. On a practical level, we translate this understanding into everyday life by experimenting with new ways of communicating, setting boundaries, organizing time, and making choices that align with personal values. When appropriate, I may also suggest books, articles, or podcasts to support the therapeutic process between sessions. Clients often describe me as empathic and attentive, while also valuing my ability to gently highlight patterns that limit their well-being. I see therapy as both support in difficult periods and a space for meaningful self-exploration and personal growth.
