About me

During my university studies, I developed a deep interest in understanding human suffering and the ways people cope with pain. I realized how mental distress can quietly affect every aspect of life, and I wanted to learn how to help others find balance and regain a sense of direction. I have worked with women who experienced abuse, in adult psychiatric wards, and on prevention programs for adolescents at risk. I have also taught psychology at a private university, as I believe in the importance of sharing knowledge and promoting mental health awareness. After completing my training as a Cognitive Behavioural and EMDR psychotherapist, I established my private practice, where I continue to support clients with empathy and evidence-based methods.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
EMDRRecommended for those dealing with trauma who want to process painful memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact.
Schema therapyRecommended for those who want to break out of negative patterns or "schemas" that they developed early in life and keep repeating.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in one of the core principles developed by Marsha Linehan: “acceptance and change.” Healing often requires holding these two elements together—learning to accept what cannot be changed, while finding the courage and tools to create meaningful change where possible. Being able to stay in touch with emotional pain demands sensitivity, inner strength, and professional competence. That is why I rely on evidence-based methods such as CBT and EMDR, which provide effective strategies for managing difficulties and fostering resilience. At the same time, therapy with me is not only about techniques. In my virtual practice, you will also find a safe and confidential space, a kind of harbour where you can pause during life’s storms, feel supported, and reconnect with your own resources. Here, acceptance and change work together to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
